<u>Solution-</u>

The company purchased a new computer for $1500 and chooses to depreciate using the straight-line method for 5 years.

a-

As the value is depreciating, so its slope will be -ve.

Slope =- \frac{1500}{5}=-300 ( ∵ The value of 1500 will depreciate in 5 years )

y-intercept = 1500           ( ∵ At the beginning when x=0, y=1500)

Linear equation of the system,

y = mx +c ,

where,

m = slope = -300,

c = y-intercept = 1500

Putting the values,

y=-300x+1500

\Rightarrow y=1500-300x


b-

The implied domain of the function is 1≤x≤5 or [1,5]


c-

Follow the attachment attached herewith for the graph.


d-

Here,

y = the value of the computer

.

x = number of years depreciated = 3

Putting the values in the linear equation,

y = 1500-300(3) = 1500-900 = 600

∴  The book value of the computer after 3 years is $600.


e-

Here given that,

y = value of computer = 1600

x = asked = ??

Putting the values in the equation,

1600 = 1500 - 300x

⇒ 100= -300x

⇒ x= -3

∴ As the x is in negative, i.e it is impossible for the computer to be worth of 1600. It happens also because as the value is depreciating, it will always be less than 1500.

Which of the following fall(s) at a z-score of 0.0 in a normal distribution? Mean Median Mode Mean, media and mode
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: Median Mode Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal distribution a symmetric distribution where most of the values lies around the central peak where Mean, median mode all lies together and the value of z=0 (as z-value given the distance of data values from mean with respect to the standard deviation).

i.e.  Z-score of 0 has 50% of the area to the left and 50% area to the right.

Hence, at a z-score of 0.0 in a normal distribution Mean, Median and Mode all fall together.
