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.

Find the distance between A (6, -1) and B ( -18, 15)
timama [110]

Answer:

8√13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the distance formula.

The distance formula states that the distance between two points (x, y) and (a, b) is equal to:

d = \sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2}

Here, x = 6, y = -1, a = -18, and b = 15. Plug these in:

d = \sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2}

d = \sqrt{(6-(-18))^2+(-1-15)^2}=\sqrt{24^2+(-16)^2} =\sqrt{576 + 256} =\sqrt{832} = 8√13

The answer is thus 8√13 units.
