Answer:

A = 20,000(0.85)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula for compound interest here

where A = p( 1 + r)^t

   A=future value  for any sum

   P=present value of the sum

   r= yearly interest rate, it should be expressed in  decimal

   t=time period , it should be in years

______________________________

given in the problem

p = $20,000

r = 15% (in decimal 15/100 = 0.15)

t is the time for which equation is to be model to find future value p

since, rate is for depreciation we need to take negative value of rate as value for computer will decrease

thus

r = -0.15

using the above values in formula  A = p( 1 + r)^t

A = p( 1 + r)^t\\A = 20,000(1 - 0.15)^t\\A = 20,000(0.85)^t

Thus, model  equation for the value of the computer is A = 20,000(0.85)^t

Answer: -2

=====================================================

Draw a vertical line through 4 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the parabola at some point (which we'll call point A). Draw a horizontal line from point A to the y axis and note how it lands on y = 12. Therefore the point (4,12) is on this parabola.

Repeat the same steps as before to find that (8,4) is also on the parabola

We need to find the slope of the line through (4,12) and (8,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4-12)/(8 - 4)

m = -8/4

m = -2

The slope of this line is -2 meaning that the average rate of change from x = 4 to x = 8 is -2.

The line goes down 2 units each time you move to the right 1 unit.

Which of the following is a line segment in the drawing that connects two parallel lines?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

line segment BE

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines that never cross.  In this case, the two parallel lines are AC and DF.  A line segment is part of a line that has a point at either end.  The only segment which crosses lines AC and DF is segment BE.  

Also, if you look at the answer choices, the first two indicate a line ↔ above the letters, which represents a line that doesn't end, while the other two choices just have a line to indicate a segment.
