The value of a certain car decreases by 16% each year. What is the 1⁄2-life of the car?

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The half life of the car is 3.98 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the car after t years is given by the following equation:

$V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}$

In which V(0) is the initial value and r is the constant decay rate, as a decimal.

The value of a certain car decreases by 16% each year.

This means that $r = 0.16$

So

$V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}$

$V(t) = V(0)(1-0.16)^{t}$

$V(t) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}$

What is the 1⁄2-life of the car?

This is t for which V(t) = 0.5V(0). So

$V(t) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}$

$0.5V(0) = V(0)(0.84)^{t}$

$(0.84)^{t} = 0.5$

$\log{(0.84)^{t}} = \log{0.5}$

$t\log{0.84} = \log{0.5}$

$t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.84}}$

$t = 3.98$

The half life of the car is 3.98 years.

Lawyers for each side of a case are questioning people who received a jury summons. What part of the trial process does this des

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The case is in the deliberation phase, and the jury selection will follow.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may already know, a jury is a court with the active and influential participation of citizens who have been called upon to decide whether a defendant is guilty or not of the crimes being accused. Generally, the jury is summoned for crimes that offered someone life risks.

The citizens chosen to represent the jury will be selected shortly after the decision-making phase. The selection of the jury allows defense and prosecution attorneys to question the reason why each citizen was selected.
