Its value is multiplied by (1 -15%) = 0.85 each year.
.. $9500*0.85⁷ ≈ $3045 . . . . . value after 7 years

Answer:

<em>The value of the sailboat after 7 years is $3045.4823...</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Formula for exponential decay:</u>   A=P(1-r)^t, where P= Initial value, A= Final value, r= Decay rate in decimal form and t= Time duration.

The sailboat was $9,500 at its time of purchase and it depreciates at 15% of its original value each year.

So here,  P=9500,\ \ r=15\%=\frac{15}{100}=0.15,\ \ t=7\ years

Plugging these values into the above formula......

A=9500(1-0.15)^7\\ \\ A=9500(0.85)^7\\ \\ A=3045.4823...

So, the value of the sailboat after 7 years is $3045.4823...

Plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
julsineya [31]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Generally what I like to do, to solve questions like this is to substitute the given answers into the equation to solve this faster...

Equation: x^2 + 10x + 12 = 36

A.) (-12)^2 + 10(-12) + 12 = 36

144 - 120 + 12 = 36

24 + 12 = 36

36 = 36

(2)^2 + 10(2) + 12 = 36

4 + 20 + 12 = 36

24 + 12 = 36

36 = 36


Since we found the answer with the first try, we already know the correct answer is A.

So...

The Correct answer is: A.) x=-12 or x=2

What is the sum of all of the four-digit positive integers that can be written with the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 if each digit must
wel

Answer with explanation:

Number of four digit numbers using four distinct digit

         =Unit placed can be filled in four ways * Tens place can be filled in Three ways * Hundreds place can be filled in 2 ways * Thousand Place can be filled in a single way

=4*3*2*1

=24 distinct numbers

Sum of all four , four digits numbers using 1,2,3,4

          = (If we keep 4 at unit place +Keeping 3 at unit place +Keeping 2 at unit place+Keeping 1 at unit place)×6+At tens place (2*2+3*2+1*2+4*2+2*2+1*2+1*2+3*2+4*2+2*2+3*2+4*2)+At hundred's place (2*2+3*2+1*2+4*2+2*2+1*2+1*2+3*2+4*2+2*2+3*2+4*2)+At thousand's Place(2*2+3*2+1*2+4*2+2*2+1*2+1*2+3*2+4*2+2*2+3*2+4*2)

=(24+18+12+6)Unit place+(60)Ten's place +(60)Hundred's place+(60)Thousand's Place

Find, correct to four decimal places, the length of the curve of intersection of the cylinder 16x2 + y2 = 16 and the plane x + y
Yuri [45]

Let the curve C be the intersection of the cylinder  



16x^2+y^2=16



and the plane



x+y+z=1



The projection of C on to the x-y plane is the ellipse



16x^2+y^2=16



To see clearly that this is an ellipse, le us divide through by 16, to get



\frac{x^2}{1}+ \frac{y^2}{16}=1



or  



\frac{x^2}{1^2}+ \frac{y^2}{4^2}=1,



We can write the following parametric equations,



x=cos(t), y=4sin(t)



for  



0\le t \le 2\pi



Since C lies on the plane,



x+y+z=1



it must satisfy its equation.



Let us make z the subject first,  



z=1-x-y



This implies that,



z=1-sin(t)-4cos(t)



We can now write the vector equation of C, to obtain,



r(t)=(cos(t),4sin(t),1-cos(t)-4sin(t))



The length of the curve of the intersection of the cylinder and the plane is now given by,



\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {|r'(t)|} \, dt



But  



r'(t)=(-sin(t),4cos(t),sin(t)-4cos(t))



|r'(t)|=\sqrt{(-sin(t))^2+(4cos(t))^2+(sin(t)-4cos(t))}



\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {\sqrt{2sin^2(t)+32cos(t)-8sin(t)cos(t)} }\, dt=24.08778184



Therefore the length of the curve of the intersection  intersection of the cylinder and the plane is 24.0878 units correct to four decimal places.
