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.

Answer:

b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For this triangle we have to

a=18.2\\B=62\°\\C=48\°

We want to find the length of b

We know that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 °

So

A + 62 +48=180\\\\A=180-62-48\\\\A=70\°

Now we use the sine theorem to find the length of b:

\frac{sin(A)}{a}=\frac{sin(B)}{b}=\frac{sin(C)}{c}

Then:

\frac{sin(A)}{a}=\frac{sin(B)}{b}\\\\b=\frac{sin(B)}{\frac{sin(A)}{a}}\\\\b=a*\frac{sin(B)}{sin(A)}\\\\b=(18.2)\frac{sin(62)}{sin(70)}\\\\b=17

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like you've already found the y-intercept and slope of this graph. Great! That's all the info we need to create an equation.

The equation of a line is always in y = kx+b form, where k is the constant of proportionality (aka the slope) and b is the constant added (aka the y-intercept).

We know the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 3, so we can put these values into the equation.

y = 3x+3

Hope this helped!
