First of all I want to point out you drew the diagram a little wrong. The Arc is 41 doesn't mean its 41 degrees it means it has length 41 so remove the degrees symbol.
Now for the answer the other arc have to have angle 40 too because vertical angles. And because the radius is the same, both of the length has formula 40/360*pi*2*radius which is 41 in this case. So x has to be 41 also :) Done!
Answer:
f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x
It will take 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. Then use your formula to determine when the value of the car will be $15,000 to the nearest year.
To find the formula we will use this formula: f(x) = a * b^x. A is our initial value which in this case is $26500. B is how much the value is increasing or decreasing. In this case it is decreasing by 7.5% per year. Since the car value is decreasing we will subtract 0.075 from 1. This will result in the formula being f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x. Now to find the value of the car to the nearest year of when the car will be 15000 we plug 15000 into f(x). 15000 = 26500 * (0.925)^x. First we divide both side by 26500 which will make the equation: 0.56603773584=(0.925)^x. Then we will root 0.56603773584 by 0.925. This will result in x being 7.29968 which is approximately 7 years.
The answer would be 7/4 because you would just divide both the 21 and 12 by 3
