Answer: after 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the car after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial value of the car.

r represents rate at which the value is decreasing.

From the information given,

P = 3000

A = < 10000

r = 16% = 16/100 = 0.16

Therefore

10000 = 30000(1 - 0.16)^ t

1000/30000 = (0.84)^t

0.333 = (0.84)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.333 = log0.84^t = tlog0.84

- 0.4772 = t × - 0.0757

t = - 0.4772/ - 0.0757 = 6.3 years

determine the value of x for which r parallels s. then find the measure of angle 1 and the measure of angle 2measure angle 1= 50
Maslowich

According to the picture, angles 1 and 2 have the same measure because they are corresponding angles. Make equal both expressions for 1 and 2 and find x.

\begin{gathered} 50-2x=110-42x \\ 42x-2x=110-50 \\ 40x=60 \\ x=\frac{60}{40} \\ x=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

x is 3/2. Replace this value in both expression to find the measure of each angle.

\begin{gathered} \measuredangle1=50-2x \\ \measuredangle1=50-2(\frac{3}{2}) \\ \measuredangle1=50-3 \\ \measuredangle1=47 \\ \measuredangle2=110-42x \\ \measuredangle2=110-42(\frac{3}{2}) \\ \measuredangle2=110-63 \\ \measuredangle2=47 \end{gathered}

The measure of these angles is 47°

ankoles [38]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute x for 6 and y for 1

which will be 6-1+6

using BODMAS

6-(1+6)

The linear model for the data is expressed as: R = 20p - 160.

<h3>How to Write a Linear Model?</h3>

Using two pairs of values from the table values, say, (32, 480) and (33, 500), find the unit rate (m).

Unit rate (m) = (500 - 480)/(33 - 32) = 20/1

Unit rate (m) = 20.

Substitute (p, R) = (32, 480) and m = 20 into R = mp + b to find b

480 = 20(32) + b

480 = 640 + b

480 - 640 = b

b = -160

To write the linear model, substitute m = 20 and b = -160 into R = mp + b:

R = 20p - 160
