Answer:
The original value of the car.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 21,500 would be the <em>a </em>value of the function, as it is before the parentheses. The <em>a </em>value of an exponential function is a constant, and it is the y-intercept of that function, meaning in a real-world application, it would be where the values start at. In this case, the 21,500 is where the price of the car starts at, i.e., the original value of the car.
Answer:
x= 98
y= 38
Step-by-step explanation:
First add 36 and 46. Then subtract the sum (82°) from 180° to get the value of x (98°). Use reflection to realize that x and the angle across from it are the same value. Add 98 to 44. Then subtract the sum (142°) from 180° to get y (38°).
(x/100-1)(x/100+1)=kx^2-1
(x/100-1)(x/100+1)=(x/100)^2 - 1^2 because it's a difference of squares ( (a-b)(a+b) = a^2-ab+ab-b^2 = a^2 - b^2):
(x/100)^2 - 1^2=kx^2 - 1
(x/100)^2 - 1=kx^2 - 1
(x/100)^2=kx^2
(x^2)/(100^2)=kx^2
1/(100^2)=k
1/10000=k
k=0.0001
Since 18 does not have a number that when multiplied by itself equal 18, then it will be a decimal number. You can tell the closest whole number by seeing what is the closest square. In this case we know that 16 is 4 times 4 and the next one would be 5 times 5 to equal 25, so the whole number would be 4.
Now, the easiest way to do this is to get you calculator and take the square root of 18 to get 4.242641. The problem wants it to be to the nearest tenth so 4.2 is your answer. On a number line, if it is in four parts, you will plot it just before the first little line.
Hope this helps! If you are using more small lines in you number line, comment me below and I would be happy to lead you in the right direction.
Answer: The fire is 3.5 miles from tower B
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram. The triangle in the attached diagram illustrates the clues given in the question. Both rangers are standing at points A and B respectively with a distance of 5 miles between them, which is line AB. Also, one ranger spots a fire from a tower at an angle of 42 degrees, which is point A. Another ranger spots the same fire from another tower, but from an angle of 64 degrees, which is point B. The fire is at point C on the triangle. Now we have a triangle with only one side known (5 miles) and three angles known (the third angle is computed as 180 - {64+42} which equals 74) which are 64 degrees, 42 degrees and 74 degrees.
The distance from the fire to tower B is calculated using the law of sines. (Note that this is not a right angled triangle, hence we cannot use trigonometric ratios). The law of sines is expressed as follows;
a/SinA = b/SinB or
a/SinA = c/SinC
Depending on the sides and angles we are given and the ones we are to calculate.
The distance from the fire to tower B is line BC, labeled as a in our diagram. Using the law of sines
a/SinA = c/SinC
(Note also that a is directly facing angle A, c is directly facing angle C, and so on)
a/SinA = c/SinC
a/Sin 42 = 5/Sin 74
By cross multiplication we now have
a (Sin 74) = 5 (Sin 42)
Divide both sides of the equation by Sin 74 and we now arrive at
a = 5 (Sin 42)/Sin 74
a = 5 (0.6691)/0.9613
a = 3.3455/0.9613
a = 3.4802
{rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile, a equals 3.5}
Therefore the distance from tower B to the fire is approximately 3.5 miles
