Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7-5
-21-0
-2/21. the y intercept would be 5, considering the x is 0 on the first pair of coordinates. so y=-2/21x+5, or A
The value of a car after 10 years be $20898.27 if the car rental company assumes each car in their fleet depreciates by 6% per year option (a) $20898.27 is correct.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent
where a is a constant and a>1
We can solve this problem by exponential function:
The word depreciate means the price is decreasing.
We can find the value be when the car is 10 years old:
p = 38800(1 - 0.06)¹⁰
p = 38800(0.94)¹⁰
p = 20898.266 ≈ $20898.27
Thus, the value of a car after 10 years be $20898.27 if the car rental company assumes each car in their fleet depreciates by 6% per year option (a) $20898.27 is correct.

First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2
If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12
Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).
I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...
