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.

17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x

notka56 [123]

Answer:

x = 22/15

Step-by-step explanation:

17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x

Combine like terms on each side.

20x - 11 = 5x + 11

Add 11 to both sides. Subtract 5x from both sides.

15x = 22

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 22/15

When finding the 9th term in a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2 and a first

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:

$t_n = a r^{(n-1)}$ ...(1)

Plugging n = 9, a = 3 and r = 2 in the above equation, we find:

$t_9 = (3) (2)^{9-1}$

$t_9 = (3) (2)^{8}$ ... (2)

Comparing equations (1) & (2), we obtan:

(n - 1) = 8

Find the midpoint of AB for: A(7,0)|and B(0,3)

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf (\frac {7}{2}, \frac{3}{2}) \ or \ (3,5, 1.5) }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is essentially a point with the average of the 2 x-coordinates and the 2 y-coordinates.

The formula is:

$(\frac {x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

We are given two points: A (7,0) and B (0, 3). Remember points are written as (x, y).

Therefore,

$x_1= 7 \\y_1=0 \\x_2=0 \\x_2=3$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$(\frac {7+0}{2}, \frac{0+3}{2})$

Solve the numerators first.

$(\frac {7}{2}, \frac{3}{2})$

The midpoint can be left like this because the fractions are reduced, but it can be written as decimals too.

$(3.5, 1.5)$
