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

What is 2x+3y=30 &amp; x+y=14<br> In elimination
puteri [66]

Answer:

x= 12 and y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would line up the equations so the x's and y's are on top of each other. Then you would multiply x+y=14 by 3 to give you 3x+3y=42. After that you subtract 2x-3y=30 and 3x+3y=42 to give you an answer of x=12. After that, you plug in x with 12 in the equation x+y=14. You subtract 12 from both sides to get an answer of 2. So ur solution is (12,2)
