Answer:

Here we have the function:

S(t) = 500 - 400*t^(-1)

Then the rate of change at the value t, will be:

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

This differentiation will be:

S'(t) = -400/t^2

Then:

a) the rate of change at t = 1 is:

S'(1) =  -400/1^2 = -400

The rate of change after one year is -400

b) t = 10

S'(10) = -400/10^2 = -400/100 = -4

The rate of change after 10 years is -4, it reduced as the years passed, as expected.

△ACD∼△BED What is the value of x?
slega [8]

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BED is enlarged by scale factor 4.

(25-x)/4 = x

Multiply both sides by 4.

25-x = 4x

Add x on both sides.

25 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5.
