If a 11 inch wheel cost $21.35 what is the cost per square inch

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

likoan [24]

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.

What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-6, -3) to

melamori03 [73]

Given:

A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5.

To find:

The coordinates of that point.

Solution:

Section formula: If point divides a line segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are

$Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5. Using section formula, we get

$Point=\left(\dfrac{6(5)+5(-6)}{6+5},\dfrac{6(8)+5(-3)}{6+5}\right)$

$Point=\left(\dfrac{30-30}{11},\dfrac{48-15}{11}\right)$

$Point=\left(\dfrac{0}{11},\dfrac{33}{11}\right)$

$Point=\left(0,3\right)$

Therefore, the coordinates of the required point are (0,3).

What are the potential solutions of In(x^2-25)=0?

Maslowich

Answer:

$x =\pm \sqrt{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

ln ( x² - 25 ) = 0

And we need to find the potential solutions of it. The given equation is the logarithm of x² - 25 to the base e . e is Euler's Number here. So it can be written as ,

Equation :-

$\implies log_e {(x^2-25)}= 0$
