Answer:

V(x) = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220

V(8) = 1313.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let x represent years and V represents the value.

So, we have:

(x_1,v_1) = (0,2220)

(x_2,v_2) = (6,1540)

Solving (a): The linear function

First, we calculate the slope (m)

m = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{x_2 - x_1}

This gives:

m = \frac{1540-2220}{6-0}

m = \frac{-680}{6}

m = -\frac{340}{3}

The linear function is calculated using:

v - v_2 = m(x - x_2)

Where:

(x_2,v_2) = (6,1540)

m = -\frac{340}{3}

So, we have:

v - 1540 = -\frac{340}{3}(x - 6)

Open bracket

v - 1540 = -\frac{340}{3}x +\frac{340}{3}* 6

v - 1540 = -\frac{340}{3}x +680

Make v the subject

v = -\frac{340}{3}x +680+1540

v = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220

So, the function is:

V(x) = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220

Solving (b): When x = 8

Substitute 8 for x in V(x) = -\frac{340}{3}x +2220

V(8) = -\frac{340}{3}*8 +2220

V(8) = -\frac{340*8}{3} +2220

V(8) = -\frac{2720}{3} +2220

Take LCM

V(8) = \frac{-2720+2220*3}{3}

V(8) = \frac{-2720+6660}{3}

V(8) = \frac{3940}{3}

V(8) = 1313.3

<em>Hence, its value after 8 years is 1313.3</em>

The average temp at the south pole is -54°f. The average temp on the equator is 92°f. How much warmer is the average temp on the
podryga [215]
The answer to this question would just be the distance between -54 and 92.  The easiest way to solve this would be with absolute value.  If you have questions about what that means let me know.
|-54|+92=t
54+92=t
146=t
The average temp in the equator is 146 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the average temperature in the south pole
