This equation is known as the equation for exponential growth/decay:

Since the car is worth no more than $1,900 when bought, we can rewrite the above equation as:

<u>a is the initial value, and b is the growth factor, x is the </u><u>amount of</u><u> time that passes.
</u>So, we can plug in all that information (it's negative because the car's value goes <em>down</em>):

<u>
</u>That's you

Answer:
<h3>
f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k - vertex form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (h, k)
"the parabola opens upward" means: a>0
"the parabola has x = 2 as an axis of symmetry" means: h = 2
so f(x) = a(x - 2)² + k
"the parabola contains the point (1, 9)" means:
9 = a(1 - 2)² + k
9 = a(-1)² + k
9 = a + k
k = 9 - a
"the parabola contains the point (4, 27)" means:
27 = a(4 - 2)² + k
so:
27 = a(2)² + 9 - a
27 = 4a + 9 - a
3a = 18
a = 6
and k = 9 - 6 = 3
Therefore the vertex form for this parabola is:
<u> f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</u>
Answer:
x = - 8 , x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value function always gives a positive result, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, , that is
x + 3 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = 2
or
-(3 + x) = 5
- 3 - x = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )
- x = 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 8
