John bought a 2-year-old car for £ 12 000. Three years later he decides to sell the car; “I think that the value of the car is i

nversely proportional to its age”. John estimates the value of the car using this idea. The actual value of the car depreciates by 20% each year. Work out the difference between John’s estimate and the actual value.

Answer:

Actual value after 5 years is £1344 more than John's value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Johns estimate:-

V = k/t (inverse proportionality)   where V = value of the car and t = it's age.

When t = 2, V = £12,000:-

12,000 = k/2 giving k = 24,000

Therefore the value at 5 years of age, according to John's proposition is

V = 24,000 / 5  =  £4,800

The actual value using the given depreciation is

12000(1 - 0.2)^3 = £6144

Difference is  £1344

The point C(2,3) is translated along a vector that is parallel to the line y=3x-2. The translation vector has magnitude square r
qaws [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation vector v can be resolved into its x and y components, where x² + y² = 10 (Pythagoras' Theorem) and y = 3x

(parallel to y = 3x - 2, slope = 3).

We have x² + (3x)² = 10,

=> x² + 9x² = 10, 10x² = 10, x = 1 or x = -1.

When x = 1, y = 3. When x = -1, y = -3.

Therefore 2 possible translation vectors

are (1, 3) or (-1, -3).

First new C' = (2 + (1), 3 + (3)) = (3, 6).

Second new C'= (2 + (-1), 3 + (-3)) = (1, 0).

The possible images are (3, 6) and (1, 0).

Using exterior angle formula, you get that ∠CAD=36+123=159°


Exterior angle formula says that the angles facing CAB (ACB and ABC) sum to CAD.
