Answer:

The first choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing you need to know about this greatest integer graph is that it is aptly called a step graph.  It literally looks like stair steps on your calculator: short horizontal lines that are not connected vertically.  Really cool graph.

Second thing you need to know is about transformations of functions.  ANY side-to-side movement in ANY function will be in a set of parenthesis (or absolute value symbols, or under a radical sign, or inside the greatest integer brackets, etc.) and ANY up or down movement will be either added or subtracted.  Added means you move the function up from its starting position, subtracting means you move the function down from its starting position.  Since we have no numbers inside the greatest integer brackets, there is no side-to-side movement.  Since there is a "-2" after the brackets, we are moving the whole function down.

If you do not know how to graph these without a calculator and you have no idea what this graph looks like, I recommend going to your calculator to see it.  First, call up your "y = " window.  Next, hit 2nd-->0 (catalog), then hit the x^2 button (this will take you to the letter I in the catalog).  Scroll down til you see "int( " and hit that button.  It will take you back to the "y = " window.  Enter an x after that set of parenthesis and then close it, then hit " - 2 " and then "graph".  Your steps should begin to appear.  Notice that the horizontal line between x = 0 and x = 1 is at y = -2.  The parent graph has this line between x = 0 and x = 1 on y = 0.  The -2 in ours moved the graph down from y = 0 to y = -2

Summing up, the first choice is the one you want as your answer.

In 2012 your car was worth $10,000. In 2014 your car was worth $8,800. Suppose the value of your car decreased at a constant rat
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

g(t) = 10000(0.938)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

car worth is $10,000 in 2012

car worth is $8000 in 2014

let linear function is given as

P(t) = at + b

which denote the value of car in year t

take t =0 for year 2012

at t =0, 10,000 = 0 + b

we get b = 10,000

take t =2 for year 2014

at t =2, P(2) = 2a + b

8800 = 2a + 10,000

a = - 600

Thus the price of car at year t after 2012 is given as p(t) = -600t + 10000

let the exponential function p(t)  =ab^2 where t denote t = 0 at 2012

putting t = 0 P(0) = 10,000 we get 10,000 = ab^0

a = 10,000

putting t = 2 p = 8800

8800 =ab^2

b^2 = \frac{8800}{10000}

b = 0.938

g(t) = 10000(0.938)^t
