<u>Answer:</u>

The amount lost over the 3 years s 2567.25£

<u>Explanation:</u>

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{I} \times\left(1-\left(\frac{r}{100}\right)\right)^{\mathrm{n}}$

where F = final value after n years

I = initial value of the car in 2017 = £18000 (given)

Since the value is depreciated 5% every year for 3 years,

r = percentage rate of depreciation = 5% (given)

n = 3 years

Substituting these values in formula, we get

$\mathrm{F}=18000 \times\left(1-\frac{5}{100}\right)^{3}$

= $18000 \times\left(\frac{95}{100}\right)^{3}$

= 15432.75£ which is the value of the car after 3 years

Finally 18000-15432.75 = 2567.25£ is the amount lost over this period.

Which equation represents a line which is perpendicular to the line y = -x + 8?

natima [27]

Two lines are perpendicular between each other if their slopes fulfills the following property

$m_1m_2=-1$

where m1 and m2 represents the slopes of line 1 an 2, respectively.

To find the slope of a line we can write it in the form slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

Our original line is

$y=-\frac{1}{8}x+8$

Then its slope is

$m_1=-\frac{1}{8}$

Now we have to find the slope of the second line. Using the first property,

$\begin{gathered} m_1m_2=-1_{} \\ -\frac{1}{8}m_2=-1_{} \\ m_2=(-1)(-8) \\ m_2=8 \end{gathered}$

Then the second line has to have a slope of 8.

The options given to us are:

$\begin{gathered} x+8y=8 \\ x-8y=-56 \\ 8x+y=5 \\ y-8x=4 \end{gathered}$

Then we have to determine which of these options have a slope of 8. To do that we write them in the slope-intercept form:

$\begin{gathered} x+8y=8\rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{8}x+1 \\ x-8y=-56\rightarrow y=\frac{1}{8}x+7 \\ 8x+y=5\rightarrow y=-8x+5 \\ y-8x=4\rightarrow y=8x+4 \end{gathered}$

Once we have the options in the right form, we note that the only one of them that has a slope of 8 is the last one.

Then the line perpendicular to the original one is

$y-8x=4$

You have 100 cm of string which can be cut in one place (or not cut at all) and then formed into a circle and a square (or just

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

44cm for minimum area and 0 for maximum area (circle)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's C be the circumference of the circle and S be the circumference of the square. If we cut the string into 2 pieces the total circumferences would be the string length 100cm.

S + C = 100 or S = 100 - C

The side of square is S/4 and radius of the circle is $\frac{C}{2\pi}$

So the area of the square is

$A_S = \frac{S^2}{4^2} = \frac{S^2}{16}$

$A_C = \pi\frac{C^2}{(2\pi)^2} = \frac{C^2}{4\pi}$

Therefore the total area is

$A = A_S + A_C = \frac{S^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}$

We can substitute 100 - C for S

$A = \frac{(100 - C)^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}$

$A = \frac{100^2 - 200C + C^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}$

$A = 625 -12.5C + \frac{C^2}{16} + \frac{C^2}{4\pi}$

$A = 625 -12.5C + C^2(\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{4\pi})$

To find the maximum and minimum of this, we can take the first derivative and set that to 0

$A^{'} = -12.5 + 2C(\frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{4\pi}) = 0$

$C(\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{2\pi}) = 12.5$

$C \approx 44 cm$

If we take the 2nd derivative:

$A^{''} = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{2\pi} > 0$

We can see that this is positive, so our cut at 44 cm would yield the minimum area.

The maximum area would be where you not cut anything and use the total string length to use for either square or circle

if C = 100 then $A_C = \frac{C^2}{4\pi} = \frac{100^2}{4\pi} = 795.77 cm^2$

if S = 100 then $A_S = \frac{S^2}{16} = \frac{100^2}{16} = 625 cm^2$

So to yield maximum area, you should not cut at all and use the whole string to form a circle
