The associative property makes it so whichever which way the numbers are the answer will be the same but as shown in the picture this isn't true for this statement because the answers become completely different depending on where the numbers are in the equation.
6 divided by 3 is NOT equal to 3 divided by 6 which disproves that property.
I think the answer is 0.31!
Answer:
<u>Part 1: C. $3,159.30</u>
<u>Part 2. C. –5; –135; –10,935</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
Price of the boat = $ 16,600
Depreciation rate = 14% = 0.14
Time of utilization of the boat = 11 years
Price of the boat after 11 years = Original price * (1 - Depreciation rate)^Time of utilization of the boat
Price of the boat after 11 years = 16,600 * (1 - 0.14)¹¹
Price of the boat after 11 years = 16,600 * 0.1903
<u>Price of the boat after 11 years = $ 3,159.30</u>
Part 2:
Let's find out the first term of the sequence given:
A(1) = -5 * 3¹⁻¹
A(1) = -5 * 1
A(1) = -5
Let's find out the fourth term of the sequence given:
A(4) = -5 * 3⁴⁻¹
A(4) = -5 * 3³
A(4) = -5 * 27
A(4) = -135
Let's find out the eighth term of the sequence given:
A(8) = -5 * 3⁸⁻¹
A(8) = -5 * 3⁷
A(8) = -5 * 2,187
A(8) = -10,935
Add the prices together
Then divide by 3.
*6.25 + 3.25 = 9.50/3 = 2 of them pay 3.16 while the other pays 3.17.
