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

Answer: the ANSWER IS 11 sqt

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor 1331 into its prime factors

          1331 = 113

To simplify a square root, we extract factors which are squares, i.e., factors that are raised to an even exponent.

Factors which will be extracted are :

          121 = 112

Factors which will remain inside the root are :

          11 = 11

To complete the simplification we take the squre root of the factors which are to be extracted. We do this by dividing their exponents by 2 :

          11 = 11

The simplified SQRT looks like this:

        11 • sqrt (11)  

Simplified Root :

11 • sqrt(11)

Answer:

Not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure out if it is a right triangle or not by using the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case a and b are 16 and 18

In order for it to be a right triangle, c has to equal 34, in this problem.

16^2 + 18^2 = c^2

= 580^2

= \sqrt{580} = 24.0832

Since 24.0832 does not equal 34, this is not a right triangle
