Answer:

Hey there!

Each year, the computer is (100-6), or 94% of it's original value.

Thus, we have:

Original: 1500

First year: 1500(0.94)

Second year: 1500(0.94)(0.94)

Third year: 1500(0.94)(0.94)(0.94)

Fourth year: 1500(0.94)(0.94)(0.94)(0.94)

Fourth year: 1171 dollars.

Hope this helps :)

C(x)=x^2+6x+14 find vertex form

nalin [4]

Answer:

c(x)=(x+3)^2+5

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, the same value needs to be added to both sides.

So, to complete the square x^2+6x+9=(x+3)^2 add 9 to the expression

C(x) =x^2 +6x + 9 + 14

Since 9 was added to the right-hand side also add 9 to the left-hand side

C(x) +9= x^2 +6x + 9 + 14

Using a^2 + 2ab + b^2=(a+b)^2, factor the expression

C(x)+9= (x+3)^2 +14

Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

C(x)=(x+3)^2 +14 - 9

Subtract the numbers

C(x)= (x+3)^2 +5

Write an equation, in point-slope form, for the line that goes through points (4,4) and (-4,-1).

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

C.) Y= 5/8x + 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, calculate the slope between points (4,4) and (-4,-1). After, substitute the slope and a point into the point slope form.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{4--1}{4--4}= \frac{5}{8}$

Substitute m = 5/8 and the point (4,4) into the point slope form.

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y -4 = \frac{5}{8}(x-4)\\y-4 = \frac{5}{8}x - \frac{20}{8} \\\y = \frac{5}{8}x - 2{1}{2} + 4 \\ y = \frac{5}{8}x + 1\frac{1}{2}$

Cindy is buying a new car and wants to learn how the value of her car will change over time. Insurance actuaries predict the fut

lawyer [7]

Answer:

$C=10000(0.852)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the exponential function be,

$C=a(b)^t$

Here, C = cost of the car

t = Duration or period in years

From the given table,

Two points representing cost of the car and time are (10000, 0) and (8520, 1),

For (10000, 0),

$10000=a(b)^0$

a = 10000

For (8520, 1)

8520 = $10000(b)^1$

$b=\frac{8520}{10000}$

b = 0.8520

Therefore, exponential equation will be,

$C=10000(0.852)^t$
