For the answer to the question above,  
<span>V(n) = a * b^n, where V(n) shows the value of boat after n years. 
V(0) = 3500 
V(2) = 2000 

n = 0 
V(0) = a * b^0 = 3500 
a = 3500 

V(2) = a * b^2 
2000 = 3500 * b^2 
b = sqrt (2000/3500) 
b ≈ 0.76 

V(n) = 3500 * 0.76^n 

We can check it for n = 1 which is close to 2500 in the graph: 
V(1) = 3500 * (0.76)^1 
V(1) = 2660 

And in the graph we have V(3) ≈ 1500, 
V(n) = 3500 * (0.76)^3 ≈ 1536 

Now n = 9.5 
V(9.5) = 3500 * (0.76)^(9.5) 
V(9.5) ≈ 258</span>

Answer:

y = 3500 e^(-k⋅ 9.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay graph shows the expected depreciation for a new boat, selling for $3500, over 10 years a. Write an exponential function for the graph.

b. Use the function in part a to find the value of the boat after 9.5 years.

Explanation:

Exponential equation is given by

y = 3500 ⋅ e^( k 9.5)

whereby:

y : value

A : constant;

k : rate of change

t : time value

In this when t =0

3500= A ⋅ e^ k 0

3500 = A

after 10 years we  have

y=3500e^{-k10}

, after 9.5 years, the value of the boat is:

y = 3500 e^(-k⋅ 9.5)

k is the rate of change and it shows that it is negative because there is a depreciation in value. Note that the rate of change is not given in this case.

How do I solve this finding the first four of the sequence?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a(1) = -7 (given)

a(2) = a(1) + 4 = -7 + 4 = -3

a(3) = a(2) + 4 = -3 + 4 = 1

a(4) = a(3) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

and so on.

Calculate the straight line distance between the points (-10, -7) and (-8,1).<br> G.2(B)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2√(17) or about 8.2462 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the distance between the two points (-10, -7) and (-8, 1).

We can use the distance formula. Recall that:

\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d &= \sqrt{((-10)-(-8))^2 + ((-7) - (1))^2} \\ \\ &=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-8)^2} \\ \\ &= \sqrt{(4) + (64)} \\ \\ &= \sqrt{68}\\ \\ &= 2\sqrt{17}\end{aligned}

Hence, the distance between (-10, -7) and (-8, 1) is 2√(17) units or about 8.2462 units.

What is the product?
RSB [31]

Answer:

15a^5b^15

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 5 and 3 to get 15, and then when you are multiplying exponents of variables, you actually add them, so a^2 times a^3 is actually a^5, and b^7 times b^8 is b^15. Because these are all multiplied together, you get the answer of 15a^5b^15.

How do you find the first five terms of a sequence defined recursively
Blizzard [7]
Interesting question. Good to know for computer science.
Suppose you have a function like 
an = 3x - 2 Try the first couple
a1 = 3(1) - 2
a1 = 3 - 2
a1 = 1

a2 = 3(2) - 2
a2 = 6 - 2
a2 = 4 So each term differs by 3
a2 - a1 = 3

an = a_(n - 1) + 3
a3 = a2 + 3
a3 = 4 + 3 
a3 = 7

a4 = a3 + 3
a4 = 7 + 3
a4 = 10

a5 = a4+ 3
a5 = 10 + 3
a5 = 13

I'll do one more and then check it.
a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16

a6 = 3x -2
a6 = 3*6 - 2
a6 = 18 - 2
a6 = 16 which checks.

So the general formula is
an = a_(n - 1) * k if you were multiplying or
an = a_(n - 1) + k if you were adding. The key thing is that you are working with the previous term.
