(x-p)(x-q)
x^2 -qx -px + pq
x^2 -(q+p) x +pq
so the constant here is the product of p & q
the answer is A
Answer:
Option C = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
In principle when a function <em>f(x) </em>varies directly with <em>x</em> it suggests that any changes in x results in the equivalent changes in<em> f(x)</em>. If we have two variables, i.e. <em>y</em> representing<em> f(x)</em> and <em>x</em> representing itself, any increment/decrement in <em>x</em> will result to the same increment/decrement in <em>y</em> by a factor <em>a, thus we can say that y = ax, implying y and x have the same ratio. </em>
In the given question we know that <em>
</em> when 
<em>, </em>which translates as
This tells us that 
varies by a factor (lets call it) 
for a given value of 
.
To find this factor we can just divide 45 with 9 which gives: 
Thus the factor here is 
which finally tells us that
Eqn (1) our original function.
Since we now know our function we can plug in the value for 
and solve for 
as follow:
Looking at the given options in the question we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C = 15
Answer:
f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x
It will take 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. Then use your formula to determine when the value of the car will be $15,000 to the nearest year.
To find the formula we will use this formula: f(x) = a * b^x. A is our initial value which in this case is $26500. B is how much the value is increasing or decreasing. In this case it is decreasing by 7.5% per year. Since the car value is decreasing we will subtract 0.075 from 1. This will result in the formula being f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x. Now to find the value of the car to the nearest year of when the car will be 15000 we plug 15000 into f(x). 15000 = 26500 * (0.925)^x. First we divide both side by 26500 which will make the equation: 0.56603773584=(0.925)^x. Then we will root 0.56603773584 by 0.925. This will result in x being 7.29968 which is approximately 7 years.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation: If you count a the answer will be 48
