After 5 years the value of car will be: $7864

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price = $24,000

Decrease in value = 20%

Resale value after 5 years = ?

The formula used will be:

$Resale\,\,value=Original\,\,price(1-\%\, decrease)^n$

Where n = no of years

and % decrease would be in decimal

So, 20% = 0.2

Putting values and finding resale value:

$Resale\,\,value=Original\,\,price(1-\%\, decrease)^n\\Resale\,\,value=24000(1-0.2)^5\\Resale\,\,value=24000(0.8)^5\\Resale\,\,value=24000(0.32768)\\Resale\,\,value=7864.32$

So, after 5 years the value of car will be: $7864

Problem 1

We'll use the product rule to say

h(x) = f(x)*g(x)

h ' (x) = f ' (x)*g(x) + f(x)*g ' (x)

Then plug in x = 2 and use the table to fill in the rest

h ' (x) = f ' (x)*g(x) + f(x)*g ' (x)

h ' (2) = f ' (2)*g(2) + f(2)*g ' (2)

h ' (2) = 2*3 + 2*4

h ' (2) = 6 + 8

h ' (2) = 14

<h3>Answer: 14</h3>

============================================================

Problem 2

Now we'll use the quotient rule

$h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\h'(x) = \frac{f'(x)*g(x)-f(x)*g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{f'(2)*g(2)-f(2)*g'(2)}{(g(2))^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{2*3-2*4}{(3)^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{6-8}{9}\\\\h'(2) = -\frac{2}{9}\\\\$

<h3>Answer: -2/9</h3>

============================================================

Problem 3

Use the chain rule

$h(x) = f(g(x))\\\\h'(x) = f'(g(x))*g'(x)\\\\h'(2) = f'(g(2))*g'(2)\\\\h'(2) = f'(3)*g'(2)\\\\h'(2) = 3*4\\\\h'(2) = 12\\\\$

<h3>Answer: 12</h3>

A mountain climber climb 15840 feet on her way to the summit of a mountain how many miles did she climb?

zubka84 [21]

Hi there!

One mile is equal to 5280 feet. To figure out how many miles the mountain climber climbed, all we need to do is to divide 15840 by 5280. Doing this give us 3 miles.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Solve −x16+1≥−5x2, for x without multiplying by a negative number. Then, solve by multiplying through by −16.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

−1.13348172≤x≤1.13348172

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem

Add −5x2 to both sides of the inequality.

−x16 + 1 + 5x2≥0

Convert inequality to an equation.

−x16 + 1 + 5x2 = 0

Factor −x16 + 1 + 5x2

Set the factor equal to 00.

x16−5x2−1 = 0

x≈ − 1.13348172,1.13348172

so,

x≤ − 1,13348172

−1.13348172≤x≤1.13348172

x≥1.13348172

−1.13348172≤x≤1.13348172

Do these pairs of values (x and y) represent two quantities that are

Alisiya [41]

B. Yes, because as x increases, y also increases

X Y
1 5 (1 x 5)
2 10 (2 x 5)
3 15 (3 x 5)
5 25 (5 x 5)
