30,000 to the nearest thousands. The largest number is 30,499 and the lowest number is 29,500.
Answer:
f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x
It will take 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
A car with an initial cost of $26,500 depreciates at a rate of 7.5% per year. Write the function that models this situation. Then use your formula to determine when the value of the car will be $15,000 to the nearest year.
To find the formula we will use this formula: f(x) = a * b^x. A is our initial value which in this case is $26500. B is how much the value is increasing or decreasing. In this case it is decreasing by 7.5% per year. Since the car value is decreasing we will subtract 0.075 from 1. This will result in the formula being f(x) = 26500 * (0.925)^x. Now to find the value of the car to the nearest year of when the car will be 15000 we plug 15000 into f(x). 15000 = 26500 * (0.925)^x. First we divide both side by 26500 which will make the equation: 0.56603773584=(0.925)^x. Then we will root 0.56603773584 by 0.925. This will result in x being 7.29968 which is approximately 7 years.
Look at the picture.
We have the proportion:
Answer: Rayan is 5 ft tall.
Answer:
Within all biological communities, energy at each trophic level is lost in the form of heat (as much as 80 to 90 percent), as organisms expend energy for metabolic processes such as staying warm and digesting food (see biosphere: The organism and the environment: Resources of the biosphere: The flow of energy).
You do the implcit differentation, then solve for y' and check where this is defined.
In your case: Differentiate implicitly: 2xy + x²y' - y² - x*2yy' = 0
Solve for y': y'(x²-2xy) +2xy - y² = 0
y' = (2xy-y²) / (x²-2xy)
Check where defined: y' is not defined if the denominator becomes zero, i.e.
x² - 2xy = 0 x(x - 2y) = 0
This has formal solutions x=0 and y=x/2. Now we check whether these values are possible for the initially given definition of y:
0^2*y - 0*y^2 =? 4 0 =? 4
This is impossible, hence the function is not defined for 0, and we can disregard this.
x^2*(x/2) - x(x/2)^2 =? 4 x^3/2 - x^3/4 = 4 x^3/4 = 4 x^3=16 x^3 = 16 x = cubicroot(16)
This is a possible value for y, so we have a point where y is defined, but not y'.
The solution to all of it is hence D - { cubicroot(16) }, where D is the domain of y (which nobody has asked for in this example :-).
(Actually, the check whether 0 is in D is superfluous: If you write as solution D - { 0, cubicroot(16) }, this is also correct - only it so happens that 0 is not in D, so the set difference cannot take it out of there ...).
If someone asks for that D, you have to solve the definition for y and find that domain - I don't know of any [general] way to find the domain without solving for the explicit function).
