A + 2b = 1<br>2a + b = 8

A business uses straight-line depreciation to determine the value y of an automobile over a 5-year period. Suppose the original

Elena-2011 [213]

For this problem. it is found that:

a) The automobile has depreciated 75% in 5 years.

b) The value of the automobile was reduced by $10,500 in five years.

c) The linear function is: s(t) = 14,500 - 2,100t.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

From the problem, we have that:

a) The automobile has depreciated 75% in 5 years, as 4000/14500 = 0.25, and 100% - 25% = 75%.

b) The value of the automobile was reduced by $10,500 in five years, as 14500 - 4000 = $10,500.

For the linear function, we have that:

The initial value is b = 14500.

The slope is of a = -10500/5 = -2100.

Hence the linear function is: s(t) = 14,500 - 2,100t.

Can someone help me, please thanks

Ilya [14]

I believe that the answer is 1845

the surface area of the cube is 1350

the surface area of the pyramid is 495

the total surface area is :
$1350 + 495 = 1845$

good luck

Need help with a simple problem 2^x=3^x+1

KiRa [710]

For $x\ \textgreater \ 0$ , $2^x\ \textless \ 3^x$ , all the more $2^x\ \textless \ 3^x+1$ , therefore no solution.

For $x=0$ , we have $2^0=3^0+1 \Rightarrow 1=1+1 \Rightarrow 1=2$ . Obviously that' false.

For $x\ \textless \ 0$ both $2^x$ and $3^x$ , where $2^x\ \textgreater \ 3^x$ , belong to the range $(0,1)$ , then $3^x+1$ belong to the range $(1,2)$ .
Those ranges don't have a common part, therefore, again, no solution.

So, the equation $2^x=3^x+1$ doesn't have a solution.

Candy is on sale for $0.75 each. you have a coupon for $0.25 off your total purchase. Write a function rule for the cost of n pi

alekssr [168]

<span>The answer is B. C(n) = 0.75n - 0.25.
Let n be the number of pieces. The price for 1 piece is $0.75. The price C for n pieces without a coupon is n * $0.75: C(n) = 0.75n. The coupon value is $0.25. So, this value must be subtracted from the total price of n pieces. Since the coupon values in independent on the number of pieces, the price C for n pieces with the coupon will be: C(n) = 0.75n - 0.25. Therefore, the correct choice is B.</span>
