Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given
current (older) fridge
electricity charges= $17 monthly
maintenance costs= $220
let the number of months be x
and the total cost be yo
the expression for the cost for the old fridge is
yo=220+17x---------1
New fridge
electricity charges= $6 monthly
costs= $1,050
let the number of months be x
and the total cost be yn
the expression for the cost for the old fridge is
yn= 1050+6x---------2
Hence the system of equation for the situation is
yo=220+17x---------1
yn= 1050+6x---------2
Step two
for 10 years there are 12*10= 120 months
put x= 120 in both expressions and compare the total
yo=220+17(120)---------1
yo=220+2040
yo=$2,260
yn= 1050+6(120)---------2
yn=1050+720
yn=$1770
<u><em>Based on the analysis it will be less expensive to get the new fridge, hence buying the new fridge is worth it.</em></u>
Answer:
a = 2(vt -d)/t^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the term containing "a":
d + a(t^2/2) = vt
Subtract d:
a(t^2/2) = vt -d
Multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of "a":
a = 2(vt -d)/t^2
Function form is y= -7x+12
Slope: 1.5
Work: I used the slope formula method which is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. After plugging it in, the new equation is 4 - (-2) / 10 - 6. After subtraction, I had gotten 6/4. And when you divide 6/4, you get 1.5
I hope this helps. :)
