Answer:

1.) 12000

2.) 6750

3.) 2.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the Equation :

f(t)=12,000(3/4)^t. ; where, t = time ; f(t) = worth of car at time, t

When, car was purchased, t = 0

t = 0

f(0) = 12000(3/4)^0

= 12000 * 1

= 12000

2.)

f(2) ; this mean the worth of the car after 2 years :

f(2)=12,000(3/4)^t.

12000(3/4)^2

12000 * 0.5625

= 6750

When car will be worth 6000

f(t) = 6000

f(t)=12,000(3/4)^t.

6000 = 12,000(3/4)^t

6000 / 12000 = (3/4)^t

1/2 = (3/4)^t

Take the log of both sides :

Log(0.5) = log(0.75)^t

log(0.5) = tlog(0.75)

- 0.301029 = - 0.124938t

t = - 0.301029 / - 0.124938

t = 2.4094

t = 2.41 years

xander takes a quiz worth 50 points. each question is worth 10 points. sketch a graph to show his score if he missed 1,2,3,4 or
Marysya12 [62]
If the quiz is worth 50 points and each question is worth 10 that means for every question he could’ve missed would be taking away 10 from that 50. So lets say if he misses 2 questions. 2 x 10 would be 20. You take away 20 from 50 which would be: 50 - 20 = 30. And it goes on from there.


Hope that helps!
