Angelique is thinking about buying a house for $179,000. The table below shows the projected value of two different houses for t

hree years. Number of years 1 2 3 House 1 (value in dollars) 186,160 193,606.40 201,350.66 House 2 (value in dollars) 190,000 201,000 212,000 Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of each of the houses after a fixed number of years? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Part B: Write one function for each house to describe the value of the house f(x), in dollars, after x years. (4 points)

Part C: Angelique wants to purchase a house that would have the greatest value in 30 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of either house after 30 years? Explain your answer, and show the value of each house after 30 years.

Answer:

A) both functions are linear

B) f(x) = 7446.4x + 178713.6 and f(x) = 11000x + 179000

C) House 2 will value $106894.4 more than house 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Value Increase from year 1 to year 2:

House 1: 193,606.40 - 186,160 = 7446.4

House 2: 201,000 - 190,000 = 11000

Value Increase from year 2 to year 3:

House 1: 201,350.66 - 193,606.40 = 7744.26

House 2: 212,000 - 201,000 = 11000

This means that a constant increament in x variable gives a constant increament in both houses vales. Then, both functions are linear.

B) The slope is the same as the value increment from one year to the next one.

slope (m) of House 1: 7446.4

slope (m) of House 2: 11000

General formula of a line:

f(x) = mx+b

Replacing with a known point:

<u>House 1</u>

186,160 = 7446.4(1) + b

b = 186,160 - 7446.4 = 178713.6

equation: f(x) = 7446.4x + 178713.6

<u>House 2</u>

190,000 = 11000(1) + b

b = 190,000 - 11000 = 179000

equation: f(x) = 11000x + 179000

C) Replacing x = 30 into each equaiton:

<u>Value of House 1 after 30 years</u>

f(x) = 7446.4(30) + 178713.6 = 402105.6

<u>Value of House 2 after 30 years</u>

f(30) = 11000(30) + 179000 = 509000

Then, house 2 will value 509000 - 402105.6 = $106894.4 more than house 1.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

a) 0.5

b) 0.309

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 70 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 4 inches

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Height of George Washington = 6 feet = $6\times 12 = 72\text{ inches}$

x = 72

a) z-score

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{72-70}{4} = 0.5$

Interpretation:

This, mean that George Washington is 0.5 standard deviation more than the mean height of for men.

b) P(individual will be as tall or taller than George Washington)

$P( x \geq 72) = P( z \geq 0.5)$

$= 1 - P(z < 0.5)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x \geq 72) = 1 - 0.691 = 0.309 = 30.9\%$

Interpretation:

0.309 is the probability that a randomly selected individual will be as tall or taller than George Washington.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

12.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When working together,It takes two computers 10 minutes to send out an email

It takes the slower computer 50 minutes to send out an email

Let x represent the time taken by the faster computer to do the job in its own

Therefore, the time required by the faster computer can be calculated as follows

1/x + 1/50= 1/10

Collect the like terms

1/x= 1/10-1/50

1/x= 4/50

Cross multiply both sides

4 × x = 50×1

4x=50

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 4

4x/4=50/4

x= 12.5

Hence the time taken by the faster computer to finish the job on its own is 12.5 minutes
