Using an exponential function, it is found that it takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, the car depreciates 12% a year in value, hence r = 0.12 and the equation is given by:
.
It halves in value at t years, for which A(t) = 0.5A(0), hence:
t = 5.42.
It takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.

Answer:
6.3
Explanation:
To get from 4.5 to 5.4, you need to add 0.9. If you add 0.9 two more times, you get 7.2. Therefore, the middle term should be 6.3. I don't know if you made a typo and forgot the decimal when writing the options cause it says "63", but I believe the answer is 6.3.
Okay I'll try to show it step by step
Step 1. So first you need to recognise that the diagram is a right angled triangle, with the right angle being at the bottom. This means we can do Pythagoras' Theorem.
Step 2. Now that you know you can use Pythagoras' Theorem, you can apply it. If you don't know, the theorem is a² + b² = c², with, in this case, a being 5 and b being 8. This means we can do 5² + 8² = 25 + 64 = 89.
Step 3. From the previous step, we now know that the length of the side including x is √89, and because we know that part of this side is 3, if we subtract 3 from √89 we get the value of x, so: √89 - 3 = 9.434 - 3 = 6.434, which is your answer.
I hope this helps!
Answer:D
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 even numbers (2,4,6) and 3 odd numbers(1,3,5) on a six-sided die.
Therefore,the probability to get an even or odd number is the same (50%).
Answer:
x = - 7, x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is
x² + 8x + 7 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)
The factors are + 7 and + 1 , since
7 × 1 = + 7 and 7 + 1 = + 8 , then
x² + 8x + 7 = 0
(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
