The initial cost of an office fax machine is $100. After 1 year, its value becomes $80. Which is the correct linear depreciation

model?

Answer:

y=100-20x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x-axis be the time (in years) and the y-axis the value of the fax machine (in dollars).

We know that the initial value of the fax machine is $100; in other words, when the time is zero years, the value is $100, or as an ordered pair (0, 100). We also know that after 1 year the value decreases to $80, so (1, 80).

Now we can find the slope of the line passing through those two points using the slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

(x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of the second point

Replacing values:

m=\frac{80-100}{1-0}

m=-20

Now, to complete our model we are using the point slope formula

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

Replacing values:

y-100=-20(x-0)

y-100=-20x

y=-20x+100

y=100-20x

We can conclude that the correct linear depreciation model is y=100-20x

How many flowers, spaced every 6 inches, are needed to surround a circular garden with a 10 foot radius?
Stolb23 [73]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must calculate the perimeter of the circle:

The radius of the circle in inches is:

radius=\frac{(10ft)(12in)}{1ft}=120in

P=2\pi(radius)\\  P=2\pi(120in)\\ P=753.98in

2. Now, you must divide the perimeter by the space between each flower to find the number of flowers needed, which you can call x:

x=\frac{753.98in}{6in}=125.6=126

The answer is: 126 flowers.

The seasonal output of a new experimental strain of pepper plants was carefully weighed. The mean weight per plant is 15.0 pound
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

For any normal random variable X with mean μ and standard deviation σ : X ~ Normal(μ, σ)  

This can be translated into standard normal units by :  

Z = \frac{(X - \mu)}{\sigma}

Let X be the weight of the plant  

X ~ Normal( 15 , 1.75 )  

To find : P( 13 < X < 16 )  

= P(\frac{( 13 - 15 )}{1.75} < Z < \frac{( 16 - 15 )}{1.75})

= P( -1.142857 < Z < 0.5714286 )  

= P( Z < 0.5714286 ) - P( Z < -1.142857 )  

= 0.7161454 - 0.1265490  

= 0.5895965  

So, the probability that any one of the plants weights between 13 and 16 pounds is 0.5895965  

Hence, The expected number of plants out of 200 that will weight between 13 and 16 = 0.5895965 × 200

                                            = 117.9193  

Therefore, There are 118 plants that weight between 13 and 16 pounds.

Identify which equations have one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.
notsponge [240]
First one= x=5
second one= x=1/30 or 0.03 or 30^-1
third one= All real numbers or R
fourth one= No solution
Fifth one= All real numbers or R
Sixth one= p=-10/3 or -3 1/3 or -3.3

R is just the symbol for all real numbers. Also know as infinitely many solutions.

Hope this helps ! :) have a good day! Make sure you eat.
