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

50 written as a product of its prime fac<br> tors

Maru [420]

Start by identifying any factor of 50 and then rewriting 50 to include that one factor and another:

50 = 5 * 10 5 is prime, but 10 is not. Thus, factor 10:

50 = 5 * 5 * 2 This is 50 as a product of its prime factors 5, 5 and 2.

Simplify the expression

erastova [34]

Answer : A

We need to simplify the given expression

Lets factor numerator first

$2x^2-5x-3$ =(2x+1)(x-3)

$x^2+8x+15$ =(x+5)(x+3)

Now we factor the denominator

$x^2+x-20$ =(x+5)(x-4)

$2x^2+9x+4$ =(2x+1)(x-4)

Now we simplify it

$\frac{(2x+1)(x-3)}{(x+5)(x-4)} * \frac{(x+5)(x+3)}{(2x+1)(x-4)}$

Now cancel out same factors. so we left with

$\frac{(x+3)(x-3)}{(x+4)(x-4)} }$

Now multiply the factors

$\frac{x^2-9}{x^2-16} }$

In Triangle XYZ, A is the midpoint of XY, B is the midpoint of YZ, and C is the midpoint of XZ.

frutty [35]

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a fact in any triangle, the segment joining the mid points of

two sides of the triangle is:

Parallel to the third side
Its length is half the length of the third side

In Δ XYZ

∵ A is the mid point of XY

∵ B is the mid point of YZ

∴ AB = $\frac{1}{2}$ XZ

∵ XZ = 18 units

∴ AB = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 18 = 9 units

∵ C is the mid point of XZ

∵ B is the mid point of YZ

∴ BC = $\frac{1}{2}$ XY

∵ AY = 7 units

∵ AY = $\frac{1}{2}$ XY

∴ 7 = $\frac{1}{2}$ XY

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 14 = XY

∴ BC = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 14 = 7 units

∵ A is the mid point of XY

∵ C is the mid point of XZ

∴ AC = $\frac{1}{2}$ YZ

∵ BZ = 8 units

∵ BZ = $\frac{1}{2}$ YZ

∴ 8 = $\frac{1}{2}$ YZ

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 16 = YZ

∴ AC = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 16 = 8 units

∵ The perimeter of any triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides

∴ Perimeter Δ ABC = AB + BC + AC

∴ Perimeter Δ ABC = 9 + 7 + 8 = 24 units

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 24 units

a rectangular prism with a volume of 10 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lenghts of 1/2 unit how many 1/2 unit cubes d

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

V=s^3, we are told the volume is 10u^3 and that it will be filled with cubes having a side of 1/2 so

n(1/2)^3=10, where n will be the number of these small cubes

n(1/8)=10 upon multiplying each side by 8

n=80

So it will take 80 cubes of side length 1/2 to have a volume equal to 10u^3
