Part a)

Price of car is $32,000 and the value of Car is depreciating at a rate of 8.5% per year. This means the worth of car is decreasing. Hence it is a decay.

Part b)
Worth of car in 5 years.

Current Price = P = $32000
Decay rate = r = 0.085
Time = t = 5 years

Formula to be used:

A=P(1-r)^{t} \\  \\ 
A=32000(1-0.085)^{5} \\  \\ 
A=20523.69

This means, the worth of car after 5 years will be reduced to $20,523.69

Part c)
When the car will be worth half of its original amount.

Half amount = $16,000
Using the values in above formula, we get

16000=32000(1-0.085)t^{2} \\  \\ 
0.5=(0.915)^{t} \\  \\ 
t=7.8

This means, after 7.8 years the car be worth half of what Carson paid

A rectangular goat pen has an area of 40 square meters. Its perimeter is 26 meters. What are the dimensions of the pen?
xxMikexx [17]
Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters
