So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.
In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
Answer:
4x+9 if that's not what u needed I can graph it for you too
<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)
</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -9x </span> its coefficient is <span> -9 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -36 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -36 = -36</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -9 </span>.
<span><span> -36 + 1 = -35</span><span> -18 + 2 = -16</span><span> -12 + 3 = -9 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and 3
<span>x2 - 12x</span> + 3x - 36
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-12)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+3) • (x-12)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)</span>
To answer this problem, you should know the formula that we will be using and this would be:
Angle of elevation = arc tan( (vertical height)/(length of the shadow)).
Plugging in the values in the formula. Here, this angle is:
arc tan (12.5/18) = <span>34.78 degrees</span>
The answer would be approximately 34.78 degrees
Answer:
f(-3)= 19
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to use substitution. Every time that you see an x, plug it in for a -3
f(x)= -5x+4
f(-3)= -5(-3)+4
f(-3)= 19
