<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.

Try dividing 150 by 2 1/2 and your answer would be 6.25 you may want to double check that math though

What are the coordinates of P' if P (-5,-4) undergoes a dilation, centered at the origin, with a scale factor of K=2?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

P' = (-10,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = (-5,-4)

k =2

Required

Determine the image P'

P' is calculated by multiplying P and k.

i.e.

P' = P * k

This gives:

P' = (-5,-4) * 2

P' = (-5* 2,-4* 2)

P' = (-10,-8)

<em>Hence, the image P' after dilating P is (-10,-8)</em>
