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

Show whether or not y=x+3 is tangential to the curve y^2=x

wolverine [178]

The line y = x + 3 has slope 1, so we look for points on the curve where the tangent line, whose slope is dy/dx, is equal to 1.

y² = x

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x) :

2y dy/dx = 1

dy/dx = 1/(2y)

Solve for y when dy/dx = 1 :

1 = 1/(2y)

2y = 1

y = 1/2

When y = 1/2, we have x = y² = (1/2)² = 1/4. However, for the given line, when y = 1/2, we have x = y - 3 = 1/2 - 3 = -5/2.

This means the line y = x + 3 is not a tangent to the curve y² = x. In fact, the line never even touches y² = x :

x = y² ⇒ y = y² + 3 ⇒ y² - y + 3 = 0

has no real solution for y.

The statment is correct but if you have to work out the value of x you need a total amount of the purchase without that or atleast some sort of value it is not possible to work out
