Answers:
- a) 15000 represents the starting amount
- b) The decay rate is 16%, which means the car loses 16% of its value each year.
- c) x is the number of years
- d) f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by
========================================================
Explanation:
We have the function f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x. If we plug in x = 0, then we get,
f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x
f(0) = 15000(0.84)^0
f(0) = 15000(1)
f(0) = 15000
In the third step, I used the idea that any nonzero value to the power of 0 is always 1. The rule is x^0 = 1 for any nonzero x.
So that's how we get the initial value of the car. The car started off at $15,000.
-------------
The growth or decay rate depends entirely on the base of the exponential, which is 0.84; compare it to 1+r and we see that 1+r = 0.84 solves to r = -0.16 which converts to -16%. The negative indicates the value is going down each year. So we have 16% decay or the value is going down 16% per year.
------------
The value of x is the number of years. In the first section, x = 0 represented year 0 or the starting year. If x = 1, then one full year has passed by. For x = 2, we have two full years pass by, and so on.
------------
The value of f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by. We found that f(x) = 15000 when x = 0. In other words, at the start the car is worth $15,000. Plugging in other x values leads to other f(x) values. For example, if x = 2, then you should find that f(x) = 10584. This means the car is worth $10,584 after two years.
You have to get X all by itself so you divide 20 and 30 which gives you a fraction. X= 20/30
Then = 2/3
Answer:
t(c) = 3.355
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume a normal distribution, and with sample size n = 9 we should follow a t -student test on both tails since the FDA is interested in determining if the amount of drug absorbed is different from 3.5 micrograms.
Therefore if α = 0,01 that means that confidence interval is 99 % or 0,99
Finally with α/2 = 0,005 and 8 degrees of freedom we find in t-student table t(c) = 3.355
Answer:
The smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of congruences is
where, m and n are positive integers.
It means, if the number divided by 5, then remainder is 0 and if the same number is divided by 11, then the remainder is 8. It can be defined as
Now, we can say that m>n because m and n are positive integers.
For n=1,
19 is not divisible by 5 so m is not an integer for n=1.
For n=2,
The value of m is 6 and the value of n is 2. So the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is
Therefore the smallest positive integer solution to the given system of congruences is 30.
Answer:
a+3
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot go any further in answering this question. These two terms are not like terms so they cannot be combined. Therefore, the answer is just a+3 itself.
