Let
x------> Cathy's<span> ages
</span>y------> Tony's ages

we know that
x+y=65-----> x=65-y-----> equation 1
y-8=(2/5)*(x-8)-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-8=(2/5)*(65-y-8)---> y-8=22.8-0.4y----> y+0.4y=22.8+8
1.4y=30.8-----> y=22
x=65-y-----> x=65-22----> x=43

the answer is
Cathy's ages is 43 years 
Tony's ages is 22 years

You purchase a new car today.the value of that car depreciates based on the function f(t)=12,000(0.96)^t, where t is measured in
Alex

Considering the definition of exponential function, the value of the car is 11,287.25 dollars.

<h3>What is exponential function</h3>

An exponential function is one in which the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:

f(x)= aˣ

Being a a positive real, a > 0, and different from 1, a ≠ 1.

When 0 < a < 1, then the exponential function is a decreasing function and when a > 1, it is an increasing function.

<h3>What is the price of the car</h3>

In this case, the value of that car depreciates based on the function f(t)=12,000×0.96^{t} where t is measured in years after purchase.

After 3/2 years, the value of the car is calculated as:

f(3/2)=12,000×0.96^{3/2}

Solving:

<u><em>f(3/2)= 11,287.25</em></u>

Finally, the value of the car is 11,287.25 dollars.

Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation. 4x = -y
hjlf

Answer:

k = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

Given

4x = - y ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

- 4x = y , that is

y = - 4x ← in standard form

with k = - 4
