p=15250

r=7.5/100=0.075

y = 15250*(1 - 0.075)^x

after 8 years it would be

x = 8

y = 15250*(1 - 0.075)^8

y = $8,173.42

after 8 years the value of the car is going to be $8,173.42

Solve the equation:

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$4\sqrt{3-\frac{1}{x} } -\sqrt{\frac{x}{3x-1} } =3\\4\sqrt{\frac{3x-1}{x} } -\sqrt{\frac{x}{3x-1} } =3\\\\put ~\sqrt{\frac{3x-1}{x}} =a\\4a-\frac{1}{a} =3\\4a^2-1-3a=0\\4a^2-4a+1a-1=0\\4a(a-1)+1(a-1)=0\\(a-1)(4a+1)=0\\a=1,-\frac{1}{4}\\$

$\sqrt{\frac{3x-1}{x} } =1\\3x-1=x\\3x-x=1\\2x=1\\x=\frac{1}{2}$

when a=-1/4

$\sqrt{\frac{3x-1}{x} } =-\frac{1}{4} \\$

$\frac{3x-1}{x} =\frac{1}{16} \\48x-16=x\\47x=16\\x=\frac{16}{47}$

$\frac{(1-2x)^2 \times (x^2-9)}{-x^2-x+6} \geq 0,\\both ~numerator ~and~denominator ~are~of~same~sign.\\\frac{(1-2x)^2(x^2-9)}{-x^2-3x+2x+6} \geq 0\\\frac{(1-2x)^2(x+3)(x-3)}{-x(x+3)+2(x+3)} \geq 0\\\frac{(1-2x)^2(x+3)(x-3)}{(x+3)(-x+2)} \geq 0\\(1-2x)^2\geq 0~(always)\\x\neq -3\\case.~1.\\both~numerator~and~denominator >0\\\frac{x-3}{-x+2} \geq 0\\x-3\geq 0\\x\geq 3\\-x+2> 0\\-x>-2\\x$
