If the original cost of a TV is 1250.00 but decreases by 4.5% each week, how many weeks before the TV will cost 800.00?

800=1250(1-0.045)^t
Solve for t
t=log(800÷1,250)÷log(1−0.045)
t=9.7 weeks

Check
A=1,250×(1−0.045)^(9.7)
A=799.7=800

This is exponential growth/decay type problem...

F=Ir^t, F=final value, I=initial value, r=rate, t=time, in this case I=1250 and r=(1-.045)=0.955 so

F=1250(.955)^t and we want to find t for when F=800

800=1250(.955)^t

.64=.955^t take the natural log of both sides...

ln.64=t ln.955

t=(ln.64)/ln.995

t≈9.69 weeks

t≈9.69 weeks (to nearest hundredth of a week)

Which equation is y = 9x2 + 9x – 1 rewritten in vertex form?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$y = 9(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation in the vertex form is written as

$y = a (x-h) + k$

Where the point (h, k) is the vertex of the equation.

For an equation in the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of the vertex is defined as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

In this case we have the equation $y = 9x^2 + 9x - 1$ .

Where

$a = 9\\\\b = 9\\\\c = -1$

Then the x coordinate of the vertex is:

$x = -\frac{9}{2(9)}\\\\x = -\frac{9}{18}\\\\x = -\frac{1}{2}$

The y coordinate of the vertex is replacing the value of $x = -\frac{1}{2}$ in the function

$y = 9 (-0.5) ^ 2 + 9 (-0.5) -1\\\\y = -\frac{13}{4}$

Then the vertex is:

$(-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{13}{4})$

Therefore The encuacion excrita in the form of vertice is:

$y = a(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

To find the coefficient a we substitute a point that belongs to the function $y = 9x^2 + 9x - 1$

The point (0, -1) belongs to the function. Thus.

$-1 = a(0 + \frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

$-1 = a(\frac{1}{4}) -\frac{13}{4}\\\\a = \frac{-1 +\frac{13}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\a = 9$

<em>Then the written function in the form of vertice is</em>

$y = 9(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

Simplify the expression:<br> -6(1.4 - r)=

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$6r-8.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-6(1.4-r)$

Use the distibutivve property to multiply -6 by 1.4 - r

$-8.4 +6r$

Then move over 6r to the front

$6r-8.4$
