Answer: $358.8 to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is calculated by Where: A = P(1 + r)t

Where P= 300, r= 12% = 0.12, t= 1.5 years

Slot in the figures

300 (1 + 0.12) 1.5

300 (1.12) 1.5

300x 1.12

336e1.12

A = $ 358.84

Tonya and Leo each bought a cell phone at the same time. The trade-in values, in dollars, of the cell phones are modeled by the

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The answer is Tonya's phone had the greater initial trade-in value.

Leo's phone decreases at an average rate slower than the trade in value of Tonya's phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tonya

$f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x$

Leo

$x \to g(x)$

$0 \to 480$

$2 \to 360$

$4 \to 470$

Solving (a): The phone with greater initial value

The initial value is when x = 0. So, we have:

$f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x$

$f(0) = 490 * 0.88^0$

$f(0) = 490 * 1$

$f(0) = 490$

From Leo's table

$g(0) = 480$

By comparison;

$f(0) > g(0)$

i.e.

$490 > 480$

<em>So: Tonya's had the greater initial trade-in value</em>

Solving (b): The phone with lesser rate

An exponential function is:

$y = ab^x$

Where:

$b \to rate$

For Tonya

$b = 0.88$

For Leo, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,480)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,360)$

So, the equation becomes:

$y = ab^x$

$480 = ab^0$ and $360 = ab^2$

Solving $480 = ab^0$ , we have:

$480 = a * 1$

$480 = a$

$a= 480$

$360 = ab^2$ becomes

$360 = 480 * b^2$

Divide both sides by 480

$0.75 = b^2$

Take square roots

$0.87 = b$

$b=0.87$ -- Leo's rate

By comparison; Leo's rate is slower i.e. 0.87 < 0.88

The correct answer for part A is 5x² +7x -4. 5x³ -x² -8x -7 is the right answer for part B. Polynomials are always closed if under addition or subtraction. The answers of both parts A and B are polynomials. hope that helps let me know if it does

So... get the like-terms and add/subtract $7x^2-13x-2+27x^2-6x-1
\\ \quad \\
\textit{add/subtract the like-terms}

\boxed{7x^2+27x^2}\quad \boxed{-13x-6x}\quad \boxed{-1-2}$
