Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.

If xy + y² = 6, then the value of dy/dx at x= -1 is<br>​
mylen [45]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{At (-1, -2), }\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2}{5}}}

\large\boxed{\text{At (-1, 3), }\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{5}}}

We can calculate dy/dx using implicit differentiation:

xy + y² = 6

Differentiate both sides. Remember to use the Product Rule for the "xy" term:

(1)y + x(dy/dx)  + 2y(dy/dx) = 0

Move y to the opposite side:

x(dy/dx) + 2y(dy/dx) = -y

Factor out dy/dx:

dy/dx(x + 2y) = -y

Divide both sides by x + 2y:

dy/dx = -y/x + 2y

We need both x and y to find dy/dx, so plug in the given value of x into the original equation:

-1(y) + y² = 6

-y + y² = 6

y² - y - 6 = 0

(y - 3)(y + 2) = 0

Thus, y = -2 and 3.

We can calculate dy/dx at each point:

At y = -2: dy/dx = -(-2) / -1+ 2(-2) = -2/5.

At y = 3: dy/dx = -(3) / -1 + 2(3) = -3/5.

Braceleftzf y = 8/7 x − 2/3 <br> 8/3 x + y = 5/9
givi [52]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (77/240, -3/10)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to write the equations in standard form.

Multiplying the first equation by 21 gives ...

  21y = 24x -14

Multiplying the second equation by 8 gives ...

  24x +9y = 5

Then the system of equations in standard form is ...

  • 24x -21y = 14
  • 24x +9y = 5

Subtracting the first from the second, we get ...

  (24x +9y) -(24x -21y) = (5) -(14)

  30y = -9

  y = -9/30 = -3/10

Substituting this into the second equation, we have ...

  24x +9(-3/10) = 5

  24x = 7.7 . . . . . . . add 27/10

  x = 7.7/24 = 77/240

The solution is (x, y) = (77/240, -3/10).

Two athletic teams play a series of games; the first team to win 4 games is declared the overall winner. Suppose that one of the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

  • p=0.7103 (4-game series)
  • p=0.6480 (2-game series)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters  n=4, p=0.6:

P(X=4)={{i-1}\choose {4-1}}0.6^40.4^{i-4},\  i=4,5,6,7

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

P(X=4)={3\choose 3}0.6^4=0.1296\\\\P(X=5)={4\choose 3}0.6^40.4^1=0.2074\\\\P(X=6)={5\choose 3}0.6^40.4^2=0.2074\\\\P(X=4)={6\choose 3}0.6^40.4^3=0.1659

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:

=P(X=4)+P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)\\\\=0.7103

#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:

P(Y=2)={1\choose 1}0.6^2=0.3600\\\\P(Y=3)={2\choose3}0.6^20.4=0.2880\\\\P(win)=0.2880+0.3600=0.6480

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480

The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)
