Using an exponential function, it is found that it takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:
![A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%28t%29%20%3D%20A%280%29%281%20-%20r%29%5Et)
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, the car depreciates 12% a year in value, hence r = 0.12 and the equation is given by:
.
It halves in value at t years, for which A(t) = 0.5A(0), hence:
![A(t) = A(0)(0.88)^t](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%28t%29%20%3D%20A%280%29%280.88%29%5Et)
![0.5A(0) = A(0)(0.88)^t](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.5A%280%29%20%3D%20A%280%29%280.88%29%5Et)
![(0.88)^t = 0.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%280.88%29%5Et%20%3D%200.5)
![\log{(0.88)^t} = \log{0.5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%7B%280.88%29%5Et%7D%20%3D%20%5Clog%7B0.5%7D)
![t\log{0.88} = \log{0.5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%5Clog%7B0.88%7D%20%3D%20%5Clog%7B0.5%7D)
![t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.88}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Clog%7B0.5%7D%7D%7B%5Clog%7B0.88%7D%7D)
t = 5.42.
It takes 5.42 years for the car to halve in value.

Answer:
4⁻⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
4⁵ × 4⁻⁷ ÷ 4⁻²
⁺ ⁵ ⁻ ⁷
= ⁻²
⁻ ² ⁻ ²
= ⁻ ⁴
4⁻⁴
1) Slope tell about the steepness of the line.
To find slope we look at the rise and run between 2 points.
attached the graph of line with slope
slope = ![\frac{change in y values ( rise)}{change in x value (run)}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7Bchange%20in%20y%20values%20%28%20rise%29%7D%7Bchange%20in%20x%20value%20%28run%29%7D%20%20)
= ![\frac{2}{1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B1%7D%20%20)
So slope = 2
2) we have x and y intercepts
x intercept is the point where the line crosses x axis
x intercept at x= 3
y intercept is the point where the line crosses y axis
y intercept at y= 6
3) Linear equation is y= 3x+2
function is f(x) = 3x+2
We can graph it using slope and y intercept
In f(x)= 3x + 2 , slope =3 and y intercept = 2
slope = 3, rise = 3 and run =1
The graph of f(x)= 3x+2 is attached below.
The given partial fraction divided by the fraction of sugar in a scoop is
equal to multiplying the partial fraction by the reciprocal of the fraction.
- The number of scoops of sugar needed is <u>10 scoops</u>.
Reasons:
The amount of sugar the recipe Emma is making needs = 2 1/2 cups
Amount of sugar in each scoop of sugar = 1/4 cups
Required:
The amount of scoops Emma needs to add for the entire recipe
Solution:
The amount of sugar needed = 2 1/2 cups
Amount of sugar per scoop = 1/4 cups/scoop
Therefore;
Which gives;
![\displaystyle 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%202%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D)
![\displaystyle \frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} } = \mathbf{ \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{20}{2 }} = 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%7D%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20%7D%20%3D%20%20%5Cmathbf%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B1%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B20%7D%7B2%20%7D%7D%20%3D%2010)
Therefore;
![\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2} \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \ cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}} = 10 \, scoops](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20Number%20%5C%20of%20%5C%20scoops%20%5C%20needed%20%20%3D%20%5Cmathbf%7B%5Cfrac%7B2%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%20cups%20%5C%20of%20%5C%20sugar%20%7D%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20%5C%20%20cups%20%5C%20of%20%5C%20sugar%20%5C%20per%20%5C%20scoop%7D%7D%20%3D%2010%20%5C%2C%20scoops)
The number of scoops she needs for the entire recipe is <u>10 scoops</u>
