Use the exponential function y=500(.9)^x to find the value of the video game console after 4 years.

zysi [14]

Answer:

328.05 dollars

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

y=500(.9)^4 =328.05

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to the price of the video game after 4 years.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the <u>initial price is $500</u>, the <u>value depreciates 10% each year </u>because we have .9 or 90% of the price going into the next year.

- value of the video game after first year 90% of 500 so is 450

- value of the video game after second year 90% of 450 so is 405

-value of the video game after third year 90% of 405 so is 364.5

-value of the video game after <u>fourth year</u> 90% of 364.5 so is 328.05

The plan is to substitute x with 4 and calculate y, y=500(.9)^4

What is your answer and what does it mean?

The answer is $328.05, and it means that the video game that was initially worth $500 it lost its' value by 10 % each of the four years.

y= 500(.9)^x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

x =8, y= 500(0.9)^8 = 215.234 ≈215.23, this is less than $250

x = 7, y= 500(0.9)^7 = 239.148 ≈239.15, this is less than $250

x =6, y= 500(0.9)^6 = 265.721 ≈ 265.72, this is more than $250

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to find the value of x that represents the years such that the value of the console is still under $250.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the value of y has to be less that $250, we know the inequality

[500(.9)^x ] < 250, the plan is to try different values for x until we have the maximum value of x that gives us less than 250.

14(0.89)^x+4.5 =162

lisabon 2012 [21]

$14(0.89)^{x + 4.5} = 162$
$\frac{14(0.89)^{x + 4.5}}{14} = \frac{162}{14}$
$0.89^{x + 4.5} = 11\frac{4}{7}$
$ln(0.89^{x + 4.5}) = ln(11\frac{4}{7})$
$(x + 4.5)ln(0.89) = ln(11\frac{4}{7})$
$\frac{(x + 4.5)ln(0.89)}{ln(0.89)} = \frac{ln(11\frac{4}{7})}{ln(0.89)}$
$x + 4.5 = -2101.14032500$
$x = 2105.64032500$

A hot air ballon begins its descent at a rate of 22 1/2 feet per minute. How long will it take for the balloon's elevation

Semmy [17]

The descent of the balloon would take 14 minutes
To find the answer to this problem, take the elevation change (315) and then divide it by the rate of descent (22.5)
