Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cones are similar then corresponding dimensions are in proportion, that is

$\frac{12}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

12x = 6 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 0.5 → A

The equation V = 16300 (0.94)^t represents the value (in dollars) of a car t years after its purchase. Use this equation to comp

Dafna1 [17]

Solution:

Given:

$V=16300(0.94)^t$

The value of a car after t - years will depreciate.

Hence, the equation given represents the value after depreciation over t-years.

To get the rate, we compare the equation with the depreciation formula.

$\begin{gathered} A=P(1-r)^t \\ \text{where;} \\ P\text{ is the original value} \\ r\text{ is the rate} \\ t\text{ is the time } \end{gathered}$

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} V=16300(0.94)^t \\ A=P(1-r)^t \\ \\ \text{Comparing both equations,} \\ P=16300 \\ 1-r=0.94 \\ 1-0.94=r \\ r=0.06 \\ To\text{ percentage,} \\ r=0.06\times100=6\text{ \%} \\ \\ \text{Hence, } \\ P\text{ is the purchase price} \\ r\text{ is the rate} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of this car is decreasing at a rate of 6%. The purchase price of the car was $16,300.

at 5pm two hip started sailing toward each other from ports which were 300 miles apart at average rates of 20 and 25 mes per hou

maw [93]

If the average rates were 20 and 25 miles per hour, then together they cover 45 miles of the distance they are separated by per hour. The ships will be 30 miles apart when 270 miles have been covered, so it takes 270/45=6 hours to cover the distance. 6 hours after 5 PM is 11:00 PM.
