Erik and Nita are playing a game with numbers. In the game, they each think of a random number from zero to 20. If the differenc

e between their two numbers is less than 10, then Erik wins. If the difference between their two numbers is greater than 10, then Nita wins. Use what you know about inequalities and absolute values to better understand the game.

Let X is the random number Erik thinks of, and Y is the random number Nita thinks of.
Both X and Y are in the range from 0 to 20.
<span>X<=20
Y<=20
If the difference between their two numbers is less than 10, then Erik wins.
The difference between the two numbers can be written X-Y, or Y-X depending on which number (X or Y) is greater. But we do not know that. In order not to get negative value, we calculate absolute value of X-Y,  written |X-Y| which will give positive value whether X is greater than Y or not.
If |X-Y|<10 Erik wins.

The value V of a Porsche 718 Cayman that is t years old can be modeled by V(t) = 420,000(0.965)t (a) What would be worth the car
nordsb [41]

Answer:

<u>A. V (2) = $ 391,114.50</u>

<u>B. t = 7.2 years (rounding to the next tenth) or approximately 7 years, 2 months and 12 days  </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula:

V(t) = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

A. What would be worth the car′s worth in 2 years?

V(t) = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

We replace t by 2, as follows:

V(2) = 420,000 * (0.965)²

V(2) = 420,000 * 0.931225

<u>V (2) = $ 391,114.50</u>

B. In how many years will the car be worth $325,000?

V(t) = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

We replace V(t) by 325,000, as follows:

325,000 = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

325,000/420,000 = (0.965)^t

0.77381 =  (0.965)^t

t = log 0.965(0.7738)  

t = log 0.7738/log 0.965  

<u>t = 7.2 years (rounding to the next tenth) or approximately 7 years, 2 months and 12 days  </u>

0.2 years = 0.2 * 12 = 2.4 months

0.4 months = 0.4 * 30 = 12 days

According to the 2000 Census the population of Canton was 7,720. Holly Spring's population was 3,200. Canton's population increa
Kazeer [188]
Firstly, the rate of increase of Canton = 80/7720 = 0.010
The rate of increase of HP = 120/3200 = 0.0375
Apply  the formula of compound interest==> A =A'(1+i)^n
The population will be equal when the following equality is satisfied

7720(1+0.01)^n = 3200(1+0.0375)^n

or

7720x1.01^n = 3200x1.0375^n

Divide both sides by 3200 ===>(193/80)x1.01^n=1.0375^n
