Answer:

The half life of the car is 3.98 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the car after t years is given by the following equation:

V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}

In which V(0) is the initial value and r is the constant decay rate, as a decimal.

The value of a certain car decreases by 16% each year.

This means that r = 0.16

So

V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}

V(t) = V(0)(1-0.16)^{t}

V(t) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}

What is the 1⁄2-life of the car?

This is t for which V(t) = 0.5V(0). So

V(t) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}

0.5V(0) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}

(0.84)^{t} = 0.5

\log{(0.84)^{t}} = \log{0.5}

t\log{0.84} = \log{0.5}

t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.84}}

t = 3.98

The half life of the car is 3.98 years.

Need answer for d with working
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Question D.

Pretty simple if you know what the distributive property is. In this equation, you notice 2 fractions outside the parenthesis. This means you must multiply this fraction by every number within its corresponding parenthesis. So, if you distribute the new equation would be (\frac{5}{4}y+ 1)=(\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{3}). After this isolate the variable y and solve. I'll leave that to you so you can get something out of it, because my entire explanation would be useless if you just looked at the answer and left, not knowing how to do it in the future. :)

Which function produces an output of 5 for an input of -6?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the input is -6, you input it into the equation. That would make it f(-6)=-(-6)-1 which would be equivalent to f(-6)=6-1 , as the negatives at the beginning of the equation cancel each other out and make it positive. Then you solve and get 5, which is your output. Hope I could help :)
