Answer:

(A)Decay

(b)0.8

(c)First Term

(d)f(t)=2000(0.8)^t

(e)$819.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for modelling growth or decay is given as:

A(t)=A_o(1\pm r)^t,

Where:

Plus indicates growth and minus indicates decay.

A_o$ is the Initial Value\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is the time period

For a powerful computer that was purchased for $2000, but loses 20% of its value each year.

(a)Since it loses value, it is a decay.

(b)Multiplier

Its value decays by 20%.

Therefore, our multiplier(1-r) =(1-20&)=1-0.2

Multiplier =0.8

(c)$2000 is our First term (or Initial Value A_o)

(d)The function for this problem is therefore:

f(t)=f_o(1- r)^t\\f(t)=2000(1- 0.2)^t\\\\f(t)=2000(0.8)^t

(e)Since we require the worth of the computer after 4 years,

t=4 years

f(4)=2000(0.8)^4\\f(4)=\$819.20

Find the product. (y^3)^2 * y^7
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Firstly, let's take first factor:
(y^3)^2 = y^(3*2) = y^6
and then:
y^6 * y^7 = y^(6 + 7) = y^13

A car starts from an initial velocity of 10m/s and accelerates at 2.5m/s².how long will it take the car to reach a speed of 40m/
PIT_PIT [208]
A=(v-u)/t
We know a=2.5, v=40, u=10, so:
2.5=(40-10)/t
2.5t=40-10
2.5t=30
Divide both sides by 2.5
t=12 It takes 12 seconds for the car to reach 40m/s

To find out how far it went, you do:
d=v+1/2 at^2
d=10+1/2(2.5)(12)^2
d=10+1/2(2.5)(144)
d=10+(1.25)(72)
d=10+90
d=100m

Hope this helps :)

3x^2+17x-9/x+4 what is the quotient
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The quotient of given expression is (3x+5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\frac{3x^2+17x-9}{x+4}

The coefficients of dividend are 3,17 and -9.

Use synthetic division to divide 3x^2+17x-9 and x+4.

The bottom row represents the coefficient of quotient and remainder.

The given expression can be written as

\frac{3x^2+17x-9}{x+4}=3x+5-\frac{29}{x+4}

Therefore the quotient of given expression is (3x+5).
