Would Y be the same as 146

A laptop computer i purchaed for. Each year, it value i $1500 of it value 75% the year before. After how many year will the lapt

Andrews [41]

After 7 years the laptop computer will be worth $200 or less.

In this question, we have been given a laptop computer is purchased for $1500 . Each year, its value is 75% of its value the year before.

We need to find the number of years when laptop computer be worth $200 or less.

We can see that given situation represents exponential decay function with initial value 1500, decay rate = 0.75 and the final value = 200

We need to find period t.

For given situation we get an exponential function as,

1500 * (0.75)^t ≤ 200

(0.75)^t ≤ 2/15

t * ln(0.75) ≤ ln(2/15)

t * (-0.2877) ≤ -2.0149

t ≥ (-2.0149)/(-0.2877)

t ≥ 7

Therefore, the laptop computer will be worth $200 or less after 7 years.

Write the equation of the given line in slope intercept form (2,3) (8,6)

Dominik [7]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope:

6 - 3 / 8 - 2 = 3 / 6 = 1/2

start by putting it in point slope form and then simplify it to slope intercept form:

y - 3 = 1/2(x - 2)

y - 3 = 1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x + 2

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 4/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b is the formula for finding the slope intercept form equation

m = slope

b = y intercept

If you look at points (-3, 0) and (0, 4), you can calculate the slope

You have to go over, from point (-3, 0), 3 times, and up four to get to the point (0, 4)

Slope is change in y over change in x, so, if we look to see where the line crosses the y-axis, or vertical axis, we can see it reach the number four on the y-axis, b = 4

Now, lets create your equation...

y = 4/3x + 4

Kesha threw her baton up in the air from the marching band platform during practice. The equation h(t) = −16t² + 54t + 40 gives

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

a) 40 feet

b) 54 ft/min

c) 4 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Kesha models the height ( h ) of the baton from the ground level but thrown from a platform of height hi.

- The function h ( t ) is modeled to follow a quadratic - parabolic path mathematically expressed as:

h ( t ) = −16t² + 54t + 40

Which gives the height of the baton from ground at time t mins.

- The initial point is of the height of the platform which is at a height of ( hi ) from the ground level.

- So the initial condition is expressed by time = 0 mins, the height of the baton h ( t ) would be:

h ( 0 ) = hi = -16*(0)^2 + 54*0 + 40

h ( 0 ) = hi = 0 + 0 + 40 = 40 feet

Answer: The height of the platform hi is 40 feet.

- The speed ( v ) during the parabolic path of the baton also varies with time t.

- The function of speed ( v ) with respect to time ( t ) can be determined by taking the derivative of displacement of baton from ground with respect to time t mins.

v ( t ) = dh / dt

v ( t )= d ( −16t² + 54t + 40 ) / dt

v ( t )= -2*(16)*t + 54

v ( t )= -32t + 54

- The velocity with which Kesha threw the baton is represented by tim t = 0 mins.

Hence,

v ( 0 ) = vi = -32*( 0 ) + 54

v ( 0 ) = vi = 54 ft / min

Answer: Kesha threw te baton with an initial speed of vo = 54 ft/min

- The baton reaches is maximum height h_max and comes down when all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy. The baton starts to come down and cross the platform height hi = 40 feet and hits the ground.

- The height of the ball at ground is zero. Hence,

h ( t ) = 0

0 = −16t² + 54t + 40

0 = -8t^2 + 27t + 20

- Use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation:

$t = \frac{27+/-\sqrt{27^2 - 4*8*(-20)} }{2*8}\\\\t = \frac{27+/-\sqrt{1369} }{16}\\\\t = \frac{27+/-37 }{16}\\\\t = \frac{27 + 37}{16} \\\\t = 4$

Answer: The time taken for the baton to hit the ground is t = 4 mins
