Tucker purchased $4,600 in new equipment for a catering business. He estimates that the value of the equipment is reduced by app

roximately 40% every two years. Tucker states that the function V(t)=4,600(0.4)2t could be used to represent the value of the equipment, V, in dollars, t, years after the purchase of the new equipment. Explain whether the function Tucker stated is correct, and, if not, determine the correct function that could be used to find the value of the equipment purchased.

Answer:
The function stated by Tucker is incorrect.
V(t) = 4600(0.8)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
V(t)=4,600(0.4)2t
The initial value of equipment = 4600
Decay rate = 40% of very 2 years
The value of equipment t years after purchase
The exponential decat function goes thus :
V(t) = Initial value * (1 - decay rate)^t
The Decay rate per year = 40% /2 = 20% = 0.2
V(t) = 4600(1 - 0.2)^t
V(t) = 4600(0.8)^t

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below?
Luden [163]

Using factorization method;

x²+13x+40=0

x²+13+40

Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).

The two numbers are +5 and +8

The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40

You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)

x(x+5)+8(x+5)

(x+8)(x+5)

x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)

x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)

x= -8 or x= -5

5782/24=240 since we round down to s whole.

Multiply again by 24.
240*24=5760

There are 5782-5760=22 priority seats.

The correct answer is 22.

Hey guys. Just need help checking my equation. I have x = -0.6. thanks.
Novosadov [1.4K]

12 - 4( - 3x + 5) - 8x = 20 \\ 12 + 12x - 20 - 8x = 20 \\ 4x - 8 = 20 \\ 4x = 28 \\ x = 7
