The median price, P, of a home rose from $50 thousand in 1980 to $150 thousand in 2000. Let t be the number of years since 1980.

If instead the housing prices increased exponentially, find an equation of the form P = Poa t to represent housing prices. Again, P is measured in thousands. (Round your answer for a to 6 decimal places.)

Answer: P=50,000(1.056467)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the function that shows the price of home after t years,

P=P_0(a)^t

Where,

P_0 is the initial price of home,

a is the growth factor,

t is the time.

Here, The Initial price of home,

P_0 = $ 50,000

P = $ 150,000

Time since 1980, t = 20 years.

Thus, 150,000=50,000(a)^{20}

3=(a)^{20}

a=(3)^{1/20} =1.05646730855\approx 1.056467

Thus, the complete function that shows the price of home after t years,

P=50,000(1.056467)^t

150,000 = 50000a^20
a^20 = 150000/50000 = 3
a = 20th root of 3 = 1.056467

Required equation is P = 50000(1.056467)^t

Line segment AB has endpoints A(7, 4) and B(2, 5). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

(23/4, 17/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector from A to B is ...

... V = B - A = (2-7, 5-4) = (-5, 1)

Point P that divides AB the way you want is 1/4 of that from A:

... P = A + (1/4)×V = (7, 4) + (-5/4, 1/4)

... P = (5 3/4, 4 1/4) = (23/4, 17/4)

A pentigonal prism is cut by a plane perpendicular to the base. What is the shape of the cross section that is formed ?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

In a right pentagonal prism, the bases are pentagons and the lateral faces are rectangles. If we take a cross-section perpendicular to the base, this same cross-section will be parallel to the lateral faces. This means it will be the same shape as the lateral faces, which is a rectangle.

What is the slope of the line on the graph?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

m=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Step 1: Find 2 points

(0, 2) y-int

(-4, 0) x-int

Step 2: Plug into slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>

<em />m=\frac{2-0}{0-(-4)}<em />

<em />m=\frac{2}{0+4}<em />

<em />m=\frac{2}{4}<em />

<em />m=\frac{1}{2}<em />
