Answer:

B if you mean (-2)^(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2)-3=-5

But based on the answers I think you meant to write (-2)^(-3)

which means 1/(-2)^3

So we have 1/(-2*-2*-2)=1/-8 or -1/8

Without actually carrying out the steps of multiplication, determine whether the product of 15.1 and 0.9 will be larger or small

yan [13]

Answer: Smaller

Step-by-step explanation: The product of 15.1 and 0.9 will be smaller than 15.1. This is because 0.9 is smaller than 1 and since 15.1 * 1 is 15.1, we know that anything smaller than 1 will result in the product of it and 15.1 being smaller.

A new car was valued at $28,000, and it's value depreciated to $14,000 over the next 3 years. Use the exponential equation for d

kompoz [17]

The exponential equation (in thousands) is:
$V = 28 e^{-rt}$
plug in t=3 yrs, and solve for 'r'.
$14 = 28 e^{-3r} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} = e^{-3r} \\ \\ ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -3r \\ \\ r = \frac{ln(\frac{1}{2})}{-3} = 0.231 = 23.1%$

Find value of car when t = 10
$V = 28e^{-2.31} = 2.779$
