We have been given that Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the following exponential function:
where y represents the car's value and t represents time in years. We are asked to find the decay rate as a percentage.
We know that an exponential decay function is in form
, where,
y = Final value,
a = Initial value,
r = Decay rate in decimal form,
x = time.
Upon comparing our given function
with standard decay function
, we can see that
.
Let us solve for r.



Let us convert 0.24 into percentage.

Therefore, the decay rate is 24%.
You rearrange the equation getting x = 9 * 3 which equals 27. So x = 27
Or just do 9*3 to get 27.
I believe it is 3. since it touches the x-axis in three areas
Answer: $26
Step-by-step explanation:
If $19.50 is 3/4, we need to find 4/4.
3/4 -> 0.75
4/4 -> 1
We will set up a proportion and solve.

19.5 = 0.75x
26 = x
The professional ball is $26.
