Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Car A follows a linear pattern, as a straight well fitted line was obtained from the regression model, with a fixed amount as Depreciation per year.

CarB follows an exponential trve das obtained on the regression plot.

Using technology :

Where, f(x) = price of car

The linear function for car 1 :

f(x) = - 6000x + 38000

THE exponential function :

f(x) = 38000(0.85)^x

In 5 years :

Car 1:

f(5) = - 6000(5) + 38000 = 8000

Car 2 :

f(x) = 38000(0.85)^5 = 16,860.801

Hence, car 2 has the the greatest value after 5 years

A customer pays $3.27 for oranges and $4.76 for pears. How many pounds of fruit does the customer buy?
ruslelena [56]
Take 3.27 and divide that by 1.09  (for the oranges)
3.27/1.09=3lbs. of oranges
then take 4.76 and divide that by 1.19       (for the pears)
4.76/1.19=4lbs. of pears
add 4+3 to get how many lbs. in all
4+3=7
