We have been given that Jackson purchases a new car for $48,000. The car's value can be modeled by the following exponential function: 
where y represents the car's value and t represents time in years. We are asked to find the decay rate as a percentage.
We know that an exponential decay function is in form 
, where,
y = Final value,
a = Initial value,
r = Decay rate in decimal form,
x = time.
Upon comparing our given function with standard decay function , we can see that 
.
Let us solve for r.
Let us convert 0.24 into percentage.
Therefore, the decay rate is 24%.
Answer:
82
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 5x - 3
g(x) = 2x + 9
f(g(x)) = 5 (2x + 9) - 3 ..... replace x with g(x)
f(g(4)) = 5 * (2 * 4 + 9) -3 = 85 - 3 = 82
