<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.

The yearbook club had a meeting. The meeting had 21 people, which is one-third of the club. How many people are in the club?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

63 because if 1/3 of the club is gone then we need to multiply 21 times 21 to find the total. Which is 63.

There are 12 blue marbles and 8 red marbles. find the probability of selecting one item
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

selecting one item? If you mean each color:

40% chance for a red marble / 2/5 chance

60% chance for a blue marble / 3/5 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 12 blue marbles and 8 red marbles, we would total them to see how many marbles there are in total. There are 20 in total, but to find the probability, if we put all 20 marbles in a bag (blue and red), and we picked a marble at random, there are 8 red marbles and 12 blue marble in that bag. The probability that I will choose red marbles is 8/20 (or 8 red marbles out of 20 total marbles), and for blue marbles, it would be 12/20 (or 12 blue marbles out of 20 total marbles). Simplify both expression to 2/5, and 3/5 respectively. Finally, if you need percentage, just multiply the denominator by 5 to get it to a hundred, and do the same to the numerator. This way you don't change the value of the expression.
