Answer:

Theresa's height is 60 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of Paul = The height of Steve

Paul's height = 1\dfrac{1}{2} times Theresa's height - 16 inches

Steve's height = 1\dfrac{1}{3} times Theresa's height - 6 inches

Let 'T' represents Theresa's height, we have;

Paul's height = 1\dfrac{1}{2} ×T - 16

Steve's height = 1\dfrac{1}{3} ×T - 6

Paul's height = Steve's height

Therefore;

1\dfrac{1}{2} ×T - 16 = 1\dfrac{1}{3} ×T - 6

1\dfrac{1}{2} ×T - 1\dfrac{1}{3} ×T = 10

#\dfrac{3}{2} ×T - \dfrac{4}{3} ×T = 10

\dfrac{1}{6} ×T = 10

T = 10 × 6 = 60

Theresa's height, T = 60 inches

Use the exponential function y=500(.9)^x to find the value of the video game console after 4 years.
zysi [14]

Answer:

328.05 dollars

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

y=500(.9)^4 =328.05

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to the price of the video game after 4 years.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the <u>initial price is $500</u>, the <u>value depreciates 10% each year </u>because we have .9 or 90% of the price going into the next year.

- value of the video game after first year 90% of 500 so is 450

- value of the video game after second year 90% of 450 so is 405

-value of the video game after third year 90% of 405 so is 364.5

-value of the video game after <u>fourth year</u> 90% of 364.5 so is 328.05

The plan is to substitute x with 4 and calculate y, y=500(.9)^4

What is your answer and what does it mean?

The answer is $328.05, and it means that the video game that was initially worth $500 it lost its' value by 10 % each of the four years.

2.

         y= 500(.9)^x

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

x =8, y= 500(0.9)^8 = 215.234 ≈215.23, this is less than $250

x = 7, y= 500(0.9)^7 = 239.148 ≈239.15, this is less than $250

x =6, y= 500(0.9)^6 = 265.721 ≈ 265.72, this is more than $250

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to find the value of x that represents the years such that the value of the console is still under $250.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the value of y has to be less that $250, we know the inequality

[500(.9)^x ] < 250, the plan is to try different values for x until we have the maximum value of x that gives us less than 250.

Using the formula for the area of a rectangle, fill in the given information and solve for the unknown.

  A = LW . . . . . . . . area is length × width

  80 m² = L·(4 m)

  (80 m²)/(4 m) = L = 20 m . . . . . . . divide by 4m (the coefficient of L)
