Answer: a) , where 'A' is the value of car after 't' years.
b) $12446.784
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A new car that sells for $21,000 depreciates (decreases in value) 16% each year.
Then a function that models the value of the car will be
, where 'P' is the selling price of car, 'r' is the rate of depreciation in decimal, 't' is the time in years and 'A' is the value of car after 't' years.
Thus after substituting given value, the function becomes
To find the value after 3 years, substitute t=3 in the above function.
Hence the value of car after 3 years=$12446.784
Answer:
2/3 =8/12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3
Multiply the top and bottom by 4 to get a denominator of 12
2/3 *4/4
8/12
2/3 =8/12
Answer:
It would take the newer pump 4.5 hours to drain the pool
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's investigate first what is the fraction of the job done in the unit of time (hour in this case) by each pump if the work individually:
older pump: if it takes it 9 hours to complete the job, it does
of the job in one hour.
newer pump: we don't know how long it takes (this is our unknown) so we call it "x hours". Therefore, in the unit of time (in one hour) it would have completed
of the total job.
both pumps together: since it takes both 3 hours to complete the job, in one hour they do
of the job.
Now, we can write the following equation about fractions of the job done:
<em>The fraction of the job done by the older pump plus the fraction of the job done by the newer pump in one hour should total the fraction of the job done when they work together.</em> That is in mathematical terms:

and solving for x:
