Zhang thinks that the value of a baseball card can be modeled by exponential decay and that the value will decrease at a rate of

0.2% each year. The card was originally valued at $250 in 2007. What would Zhang expect the card to be in 2018? Round the value of the card to the nearest cent. Show all work

Answer: $244.55

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the exponential decay function is given by :-

$f(t)=A(1-r)^t$ , where r is the rate of decay ( in decimal ) , A is the initial amount and t is time period.

Given : A = $250 ; r=0.002 t= 11 [From 2007 to 2018 , t=2018-2007]

Then, the expected value of card in 2018 :-

$f(11)=250(1-0.002)^{11}\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(11)=250(0.978218685265)\\\\\Rightarrow\ f(11)=244.554671316\approx244.55$

Hence,Zhang expect the card to be $244.55 in 2018.

The correct answer would be
$249.45
2018 - 2007 = 11
11 x 0.2% = 0.22%
0.22% of 250 = 0.55
250 - 0.55 = 249.45
$249.45

Answer:

109 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we can see that the line on the top, the one across the yellow box, is the main one, and that one measures 180*, so that means that we have to just subtract 180 by 71, and that will be our answer!

180-71 =109

So, the angle of the missing angle is 109 degrees.

Another proof that this is your answer is that 109 degrees is obtuse, and we can easily say that the angle here is also obtuse.

Answer:

y = -16 (x - 1)^2 + 112

The object lands on the ground in approximately 3.6s

Explanation:

The equation given is that of a parabola.

Now the maximum (local) point of a parabola is the vertex. Therefore, if we want to rewrite our function in the form that would be used to find the maximum height, then that form must be the vertex form of a parabola.

The vertex form of a parabola is

$y=a(t-h)^2+k$

where (h, k) is the vertex.

The only question is, what is the vertex for our function h(t)?

Remember that if we have an equation of the form

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

then the x-coordinate of the vertex is

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Now in our case b = 32 and a = -16; therefore,

$h=\frac{-32}{2(16)}=1$

We've found the value of the x-coordinate of the vertex. What about the y-coordinate? To get the y-coordinate, we put x = 1 into h(t) and get

$k=-16(1)+32(1)+96=112$

Hence, the y-coordindate is k = 112.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (1, 112).

With the coordinates of the vertex in hand, we now write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

$h(t)=a(t-1)^2+112$

The only problem is that we don't know what the value of a is. How do we find a?

Note that the point (0, 96) lies on the parabola. In other words,

$h(0)=-16(0)^2+32(0)+96=96$

Therefore, the vertex form of the parabola must also contain the point (0, 96).

Putting in t = 0, h = 96 into the vertex form gives

$96=a(0-1)^2+112$ $96=a+112$

subtracting 112 from both sides gives

$a=-16$

With the value of a in hand, we can finally write the equation of the parabola on vertex form.

$\boxed{h\mleft(t\mright)=-16\left(t-1\right)^2+112.}$

Now when does the object hit the ground? In other words, for what value of t is h(t) = 0? To find out we just have to solve the following for t.

$h(t)=0.$

We could either use h(t) = -16t^2 + 32t + 96 or the h(t) = -16(t - 1)^2 + 112 for the above equation. But it turns out, the vertex form is more convenient.

Thus we solve,

$-16\left(t-1\right)^2+112=0$

Now subtracting 112 from both sides gives

$-16(t-1)^2=-112$

Dividing both sides by -16 gives

$(t-1)^2=\frac{-112}{-16}$ $(t-1)^2=7$

taking the square root of both sides gives

$t-1=\pm\sqrt{7}$

adding 1 to both sides gives

$t=\pm\sqrt{7}+1$

Hence, the two solutions we get are

$t=\sqrt{7}+1=3.6$ $t=-\sqrt{7}+1=-1.6$

Now since time cannot take a negative value, we discard the second solution and say that t = 3.6 is our valid solution.

Therefore, it takes about 3.6 seconds for the object to hit the ground.
