Answer:
The answer is 3.2 E 3 or 3.2 x 10^3
You move back 3 spaces which is 3.2, since you moved back 3 spaces, you put 3 as the power/exponet.
To be more satisfied, 3.2 is your base number, it is the big number Below the power/exponent. The power/exponent is 3, you moved 3 spaces and you moved to the left, so it is represented as a positive power/exponent.
Hope this helps.
So it would be 12 minutes and $5 per 12 minutes.
When you divide 972 by 10.8 you get the answer of 90. Hope this helps :)
Answer to the 1st question: 8 years
Answer to the 2nd question: The year 2022
=======================================================
Further explanation:
x = number of years after 2008
y = average price of a new car
The prices are going up by $1250 per year on average. This is the slope because the slope is the rate of change. So m = 1250.
The y intercept is b = 30100 as this is the price in 2008.
This leads us to go from y = mx+b to y = 1250x+30100
Plug in x = 0 and you should get y = 30100.
Also, plugging x = 6 into the equation leads to y = 37600 to help confirm things.
-----------------
Next, we plug in y = 47600 and solve for x.
y = 1250x+30100
47600 = 1250x+30100
47600-30100 = 1250x
17500 = 1250x
1250x = 17500
x = 17500/1250
x = 14
This means 14 years after the year 2008 is when the average new car price will be $47,600.
2008+14 = 2022
2022-2014 = 8
Therefore, <u>8 years</u> after 2014 (aka the <u>the year 2022</u>) is when the new car average price will be $47,600.
