Answer:
Function for given situation is :
Value of computer after 4 years = $720.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. Now we need to write a function for the computers value V(t). then we need to find about how much will the computer be worth in 4 years.
It clearly says that value decreases so that means function represents decay.
For decay we use formula:
where P=initial value = $3000,
r= rate of decrease =30% = 0.30
t= number of years
A=V(t) = future value
so the required function is
or
Now plug t=4 years to get the value of computer after 4 years.
Hence final answer is $720.3.
Answer:
4.75 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We must introduce the symbols for inches and feet.
Here we will use, x' = x feet and x" = x inches
A high school track teams long jump record is 21 feet and inches i.e. 21'2.25" this year.
Now, Tim's best long jump is 20 feet and inches i.e. 20'9.5".
So, the difference between the record jump and Tim's best jump is
(21'2.25" - 20'9.5")
= (21'2.25" - 21') + (21' - 20'9.5")
= 2.25" + 2.5" {Since, 1' = 12" i.e. 21' = 20' 12"}
= 4.75"
Therefore, Tim has to jump 4.75 inches farther to break the record. (Answer)
