Answer:

Option C.The decrease in the value of the motorcycle, which is 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

$f(x)= ab^x$

where

a is the initial value

b represents growth or decay factor

If b >1 then it is an exponential growth

if 0<b<1 then it is an exponential decay

In this problem

a=$19,000

b=0.91 -----> it is exponential decay factor

Find the rate of decrease r

b=(1-r)

substitute

0.91=1-r

r=1-0.91=0.09

Convert to percentage

0.09*100=9%

therefore

0.91 represent the decrease in the value of the motorcycle, which is 9%

A 12 ft. ladder is being placed against a 10 ft.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of wall = 10ft

Length of ladder = 12ft

Angle of elevation be x

Sin x = opp/hyp

Sin x = wall height/length of ladder

Sin x = 10/12

Sin x = 0.83

X = Sin-¹ (0.83)

X = 56.44°

There are 20 students in my class. Each student needs: .2 cups, 2 plates, 1 party hat and a pair of earphones. My teacher has 2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Simple, no. This would not be enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you mentioned that there are 20 students and each of them needed 2 plates. So, there would need to be at least 40 plates. Forks seem irrelevant in this question but if the teacher has 8 plates in 1 box and another 8 in the second box, that would sum up to 16 plates that are available. And the fact that the box doesn't even include the other items, should hint the lack of items available for the students.

This question seemed worded differently. But tried my best. :)

Find all the complex roots. Write the answer in exponential form.

dezoksy [38]

We have to calculate the fourth roots of this complex number:

$z=9+9\sqrt[]{3}i$

We start by writing this number in exponential form:

$\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{9^2+(9\sqrt[]{3})^2} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+81\cdot3} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+243} \\ r=\sqrt[]{324} \\ r=18 \end{gathered}$ $\theta=\arctan (\frac{9\sqrt[]{3}}{9})=\arctan (\sqrt[]{3})=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Then, the exponential form is:

$z=18e^{\frac{\pi}{3}i}$

The formula for the roots of a complex number can be written (in polar form) as:

$z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot\lbrack\cos (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})\rbrack\text{ for }k=0,1,\ldots,n-1$

Then, for a fourth root, we will have n = 4 and k = 0, 1, 2 and 3.

To simplify the calculations, we start by calculating the fourth root of r:

$r^{\frac{1}{4}}=18^{\frac{1}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{18}$

<em>NOTE: It can not be simplified anymore, so we will leave it like this.</em>

Then, we calculate the arguments of the trigonometric functions:

$\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k}{4}=\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\pi}{2}k=\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{k}{2})$

We can now calculate for each value of k:

$\begin{gathered} k=0\colon \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\pi}{8}) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot e^{i\frac{\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=1\colon \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{5\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{5\pi}{8})) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{5\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=2\colon \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{9\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{9\pi}{8})) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{9\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=3\colon \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{13\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{13\pi}{8})) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{13\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

The four roots in exponential form are

z0 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*π/8)

z1 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*5π/8)

z2 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*9π/8)

z3 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*13π/8)
