Remember the properties of logarithms. If you have ln81, you can pull out the power of two (9^2) and have 2ln9. Also, you could do ln9 + ln9 because 9*9=81 and ln9*9 = ln9 + ln9
With these properties, you can get 3lnx+2lny, which is 3u+2v according to the answer.
Hope I helped!
So first of all you need to plug in the x=8 into both equations which will make the first equation be equals to 44 than plug in the x into the second equation and you will get 4 over -1 so in my opinion it should be b=44
Answer: a) , where 'A' is the value of car after 't' years.
b) $12446.784
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A new car that sells for $21,000 depreciates (decreases in value) 16% each year.
Then a function that models the value of the car will be
, where 'P' is the selling price of car, 'r' is the rate of depreciation in decimal, 't' is the time in years and 'A' is the value of car after 't' years.
Thus after substituting given value, the function becomes
To find the value after 3 years, substitute t=3 in the above function.
Hence the value of car after 3 years=$12446.784
