Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.
<h3>Exponential function:</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

Answer:
<em>-21 and 4</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
They multiply to a negative number, so you need a positive number and a negative number.
-2.7639320225 is the exact when estimated -3 hope this helped if can pls mark as brainliest have a great day!
Answer:
C.None of these
Step-by-step explanation:
atleast I think
Let, S = Shirt, J = Jeans
14a)
This question asks for the discount to be added after everything else.
S= 12 J=19
3S + 2J -3 = Cost with discount applied to total
^ This expression adds to costs, then takes away the $3 discount as the end.
14b)
This questions says the discount is added on every shirt, we get a similar expression:
3(S-3) + 2(J-3) = Cost with discount applied on every shirt and jeans
14c)
The difference between a) and b) is that:
> the discount in a) is applied on the total, meaning a lower discount
> the discount for b) is applied on each shirt and jeans, meaning a greater discount
14d)
If I were the shop owner I would be more specific of what the discount included, for example we don't know whether to discount each product (shirts and jeans) or only discount the total.
