A flower pot’s base has six sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x−6 units. The base’s perimeter is 78 units.

Sketch a quadratic function with the given characteristics.

Answer:

See photo below

Add arrows to the two ends of the parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch this quadratic function, we to connect three dots: the two roots and a vertex.

The given roots are -1 and 1.

Draw two dots at the x-intercepts, which are (-1, 0) and (1, 0).

Vertex dot: V (x, y)

The vertex x-coordinate always in the middle of the two roots. The middle of -1 and 1 is 0. That's the same as the y-axis.

V (0, y)

Since the function increases when x < 0, the parabola will open up.

We read from left to right. The greater numbers are towards the top of the page.

You can put the vertex anywhere on the y-axis that is below the x-axis.

Jack bought a new car in 2014 for 28,000. If the value of the car decreases by 14% each year, write an exponential model for the

elena55 [62]

Answer:

In 2026 car will have a value of $5,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jack bought a new car in 2014 for 28,000. If the value of the car decreases by 14% each year.

Since we know that an exponential function is in form: $y=a*b^x$ , where,

a = Initial value,

b = For decay or decrease b is in form (1-r), where r represents decay rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given decay rate in decimal form.

$14\%=\frac{14}{100}=0.14$

Upon substituting a =28,000 and r=0.14 in exponential decay function we will get,

$y=28,000(1-0.14)^x$ , where x represents number of years after 2014.

Therefore, the function $y=28,000(0.86)^x$ represents the value of car x years after 2014.

To find the number of years it will take to car have the value of $5,000, we will substitute y=5,000 in our function.

$5,000=28,000(0.86)^x$

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 28,000.

$\frac{5,000}{28,000}=\frac{28,000(0.86)^x}{28,000}$

$0.1785714285714286=(0.86)^x$

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

$ln(0.1785714285714286)=ln((0.86)^x)$

Using natural log property $ln(a^b)=b*ln(a)$ we will get,

$ln(0.1785714285714286)=x*ln(0.86)$

$\frac{ln(0.1785714285714286)}{ln(0.86)}=\frac{x*ln(0.86)}{ln(0.86)}$

$\frac{-1.7227665977411033893}{-0.1508228897345836}=x$

$x=11.422447\approx 12$

As in the 12th year after 2014 car will have a value of $5,000, so we will add 12 to 2014 to find the year.

$2014+12=2026$

Therefore, in 2026 car will have a value of $5,000.
