A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the resale price, y (in hundreds of dollars), and the age, x (in y

ears), of midsize luxury American automobiles. The equation of the line of best fit was determined below.
y = 181.7 - 20.21x

Answer:

a. $121.07

b. $60.9

C. $20.03

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation given

Y=181.7-20.21x

Where y is in dollars and X is in years

a. To find the resale price after 3years we have, we substitute x=3 into the given equation.

We have

y=181.7-20.21(3)

y=181.7-60.63

y=121.07

The resale price after 3years is $121.07

b. To find the resale price after 6years we have, we substitute x=6 into the given equation.

We have

y=181.7-20.21(6)

y=181.7-120.72

y=60.98

The resale price after 3years is $60.98

C. To find the average decrease per year, we have

[(x=3)-(x=6)]/3

=(121.07-60.98)/3

$20.03

Hence the average annual decrease is $20.03

Answer:

a) y = 121.07 hundreds of dollars = $12,107

b) y = 60.44 hundreds of dollars = $6,044

c) Annual decrease is 20.21 hundreds of dollars

= $2,021

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 181.7 - 20.21x

Where;

y is the resale price in hundreds of dollars

x is the age in years.

a) Find the resale value in dollars of such a car when it is 3 years old.

x = 3

y = 181.7 - 20.21(3) = 181.7 - 60.63

y = 121.07 hundreds of dollars = $12,107

b) Find the resale value in dollars of such a car when it is 6 years old.

x = 6

y = 181.7 - 20.21(6) = 181.7 - 121.26

y = 60.44 hundreds of dollars = $6,044

c) What is the average annual decrease in the resale price in dollars of these cars?

The annual decrease is the slope of the equation

y = 181.7 - 20.21x

dy/dx = -20.21

Annual decrease is 20.21 hundreds of dollars

= $2,021

Consider the function below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) g(x) = 190 + 8x3 + x4 (a) Find the interval of increase.

galben [10]

Answer:

The interval of increase of g(x) is $(-6,+\infty)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval of increase occurs when first derivative of given function brings positive values. Let be $g(x) = 190 + 8 \cdot x^{3} + x^{4}$ , the first derivative of the function is:

$g'(x) = 24 \cdot x ^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}$

$g'(x) = 4 \cdot x^{2}\cdot (6+x)$

The following condition must be met to define the interval of increase:

$4\cdot x^{2} \cdot (x+6) > 0$

The first term is always position due to the quadratic form, the second one is a first order polynomial and it is known that positive value is a product of two positive or negative values. Then, the second form must satisfy this:

$x + 6 > 0$

The solution to this inequation is:

$x > - 6$

Now, the solution to this expression in interval notation is: $(-6,+\infty)$

Find the missing side length of the right triangle. show work.

motikmotik

Answer:

6.32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side length on a right angled triangle we follow The Pythagorean Theorem:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

c being the hypothesis (longest side: the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle)

so..

${6}^{2} + {2}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 36 + 4 = {x}^{2} \\ 40 = {x}^{2} \\ \sqrt{40} = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } \\$

$6.32 = x$
