Answer: 0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost price of car = $19,000

The rate of depreciation = 21 % = 0.02

The exponential decay equation (depreciation) is given by :-

y=Ab^x, where A is the initial amount and b is the decay factor for x years such that b=(1-r), where r is the rate of decay.

If we substitute the value of r , we get

The decay factor =b = (1-0.21)=0.79

11y^2-19y-10=-4y^2 <br> all real solutions
tangare [24]

Answer:

y=5/3 is the only real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y over the real numbers:

11 y^2 - 19 y - 10 = -4 y^2

Add 4 y^2 to both sides:

15 y^2 - 19 y - 10 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(3 y - 5) (5 y + 2) = 0

Split into two equations:

3 y - 5 = 0 or 5 y + 2 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

3 y = 5 or 5 y + 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 5/3 or 5 y + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

y = 5/3 or 5 y = -2

Divide both sides by 5:

Answer: |

| y = 5/3 or y = -2/5

What is the gradient of the graph shown?<br> Give your answer in its simplest form.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

m = —1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two clear points shown on the graph

point 1: (0;3)

point 2: (6;1)

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m =  \frac{1 - 3}{6 - 0}

m =  - \frac{2}{6}

m =  -  \frac{1}{3}

Find the area of the circle with the given radius or diameter. Use pi = 3.14. d = 10 A =
labwork [276]

The formula in computing the area of the circle is:

A = pi (r)^2

Where r = the radius of the circle

Since you are only given the diameter of the circle, you have to solve for its radius. The radius of the circle is half its diameter. Therefore, the radius of the circle is 5 (10/2).

Now, you substitute the measurements to the formula:

A = 3.14 (5)^2

A = 3.14 (25)

A = 78.5 sq. units

The best batch size is 1053.

Since 5% have failed, this means 95% have passed the test.

95% = 95/100 = 0.95

We can set up an equation to answer this:
0.95x = 1000

Divide both sides by 0.95:
0.95x/0.95 = 1000/0.95
x = 1052.6 ≈ 1053

The circle shows the radius of 12mm what is the circumference
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

24π or about 75.4 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is denoted by C = 2πr, where r is the radius.

Here, we see that r = 12, so plugging this in:

C = 2πr

C = 2π * 12 = 24π ≈ 75.4 mm

The answer is thus 24π or about 75.4 mm.
