The answer is $11,092.63.

This could be calculated using the proportion. If the value of the car decreases by 15% each year, that means that after each year the value of the car is 85% of the value from the first year.

After 1st year:
$25,000 : 100% = x1 : 85%
x1 = $25,000 · 85% ÷ 100%
x1 = <span>$21,250

After 2nd year:
</span>$21,250 : 100% = x2 : 85%
x2 = $21,250 · 85% ÷ 100%
x2 = <span>$18,062.5
</span>
After 3rd year:
$18,062.5 : 100% = x3 : 85%
x3 = $18,062.5 · 85% ÷ 100%
x3 = $15,353.12

After 4th year:
$15,353.12 : 100% = x4 : 85%
x4 = $15,353.12 · 85% ÷ 100%
x4 = $13,050.15

After 5th year:
$13,050.15 : 100% = x5 : 85%
x5 = $13,050.15 · 85% ÷ 100%
x5 = $11,092.63

Therefore, the value of the car 5 years after it is purchased is <span>$11,092.63.</span>

How do you know that 1/4 is a repeating decimal?​
miv72 [106K]

Answer: To know if a number is repeating it would have this line on top of it, or it would just be repeating. A repeating number is a pattern of numbers that are repeated.

Step-by-step explanation: But 1/4 is not a repeating number, 1/4 is 0.25. This would be a repeating number; 3/9 = 0.333333333...

MT is a diameter of OE. Calculate the measure of ZMTH.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

A. 17°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: measure of an inscribed angle = ½(intercepted arc)

Inscribed angle = m<MTH

Intercepted arc = arc MH = 34°

Therefore,

m<MTH = ½(Arc MH)

Substitute

m<MTH = ½(34)

m<MTH = 17°

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f'(x)=-sin x

f'(x)=\frac{cos \frac{\pi }{3} -cos (\frac{-\pi }{3}) }{\frac{\pi }{3} -(\frac{-\pi }{3}) } \\-sin x=\frac{\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{\pi }{3} +\frac{\pi }{3} } \\sin x=0\\at x=c ,sin c=0,c=0

c=0∈(-π/3,π/3)
