a truck is rented at 40$ per day plus a charge per mile use. The truck traveled 15 miles in one day, and the total charge was 11

Alla [95]

Answer:

15x + 40 = 115

We set the equation to 115 because the total cost is $115.

We add the "+ 40" because of the $40 to rent the trailer for the day.

The 15x is because it represents the miles per hour (x) times the number of hours.

The number of hours times the charge per mile, plus the $40 to rent it, will equal $115.

Hope this helps!!

First thing you'll need to know is that the value for this equation is actually an approximation 'and' it is imaginary, so, one method is via brute force method.

You let f(y) equals to that equation, then, find the values for f(y) using values from y=-5 to 5, you just substitute the values in you'll get -393,-296,-225,... till when y=3 is f(y)=-9; y=4 is f(y)=48, so there is a change in signs when 'y' went from y=3 to y=4, the answer is between 3 and 4, you can work out a little bit deeper using 3.1, 3.2... You get the point. The value is close to 3.1818...

The other method is using Newton's method, it is similar to this but with a twist because it involves differentiation, so $y_{n+1}=y_n-\frac{f(y)}{f'(y)}$ where 'n' is the number you approximate, like n=0,1,2... etc. f(y) would the equation, and f'(y) is the derivative of f(y), now what you'll need to do is substitute the 'n' values into 'y' to find the approximation.

Value discounting refers to the fact that the percieved value of the reinforcer is less the longer you have to wait for it. See

Answer:

there is an economic principle that states that 1 dollar today is worth more than 1 dollar in the future, since an invested dollar could earn interests and gain value.

For example, we can assume a 6% interest rate (0.5% monthly interest rate), and using the present value formula we can determine the present value of $100:

given to us in 30 days = $100 / (1 + 0.5%)¹ = $99.50
given to us in 150 days = $100 / (1 + 0.5%)⁵ = $97.54
given to us in 300 days = $100 / (1 + 0.5%)¹⁰ = $95.13

In order to calculate the value of $100 given to us tomorrow, we would need to determine a daily interest rate = 6% / 360 = 0.00017

$100 given to us tomorrow = $100 / (1 + 0.00017)¹ = $99.98

since the amount of money is not that large and the interest rate is rather low, the difference in value is not that large. But imagine if you used a 24% interest rate instead of 6% (monthly interest rate = 2%)

$100 given to us in 30 days = $100 / (1 + 2%)¹ = $98.04
$100 given to us in 150 days = $100 / (1 + 2%)⁵ = $90.57
$100 given to us in 300 days = $100 / (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $82.03

as the interest rate increases, the present value decreases.
