Answer:

7.77% per year

Step-by-step explanation:

From 2006 to 2016 the price of the car went from $18.000 to $4.000. So it lose 77.77% of its value in 10 years.

To know the total percentage of decay in 10 years we use the rule of three.

If $18.000 represents %100

What percentage does $4000 represents?

($4000 * 100 / $18.000) = 22.22%

If the final value is 22.22% of the initial value, then it lose 77.77% of its value. (100% - 22.22% = 77.77%_

Given that the percent of decay was constant, the annual percent of decay is: 77.77% / 10 years = 7.77% per year.

2x+2y=8 in function form step by step please?
nasty-shy [4]
You could get two different functions out of this:

<u>2x + 2y = 8</u>

1). <u> 'y' as a function of 'x'</u>

Subtract  2x  from each side:  2y  = -2x + 8

Divide each side by  2 :         <em> y  =  -x + 4</em>


2). <u> 'x' as a function of 'y' :</u>

Subtract  2y  from each side:    2x  =  -2y + 8

Divide each side by  2 :        <em>  x  =  -y + 4</em>

Those two functions look the same, but that's just because the original
equation given in the problem was so symmetrical.  In general, they're
not the same function.

pishuonlain [190]
A toy company needs to profit at least $500 from selling cars and trucks. A car can make a profit $2 while the truck can $3 profit.
let x be the number of cars
let y be the number of truck
If 200 resources for the car per week, we have:
Profit =  $2x + $3y
$500 = $2*200  +  $3*y
$500 - $400 = $3y
100 = 3y
y =100/3 = 33.33

The number of trucks needs to produce per week is at least 34 pieces.

Use the method of completing the square to transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q. 3 + x - 3x2 = 9
Triss [41]
To <span>transform the quadratic equation into the equation form (x + p)2 = q we shall proceed as follows:
3+x-3x^2=9
putting like terms together we have:
-3x^2+x=6
dividing through by -3 we get:
x^2-x/3=-2
but
c=(b/2a)^2
c=(-1/6)^2=1/36
thus the expression will be:
x^2-x/3+1/36=-2+1/36
1/36(6x-1)</span>²=-71/36

the answer is:
1/36(6x-1)²=-71/36
