The dollar value of a car is a function, f, of the number of years, t, since the car was purchased. The function is defined by t

he equation f(t)=12,000(3/4)^t.
A. How much was the car worth when it was purchased? Explain how you know.
B. What is f(2)? What does this tell you about the car?
C. About when was the car worth $6,000? Explain how you know.

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

On a trip to a lake, Kerrie and Shelly rode their bicycles four more than three times as many miles in the afternoon as in the m
Natalija [7]

Answer:

27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.

Explanation:

Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning.  They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression

3m+4

to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.

Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:

m+3m+4 = 112

Combine like terms:

4m+4 = 112

Subtract 4 from each side:

4m+4-4= 112-4

4m = 108

Divide both sides by 4:

4m/4 = 108/4

m = 27

They rode 27 miles in the morning.

That means in the afternoon, they rode

3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.

Supposed Blue spruce was included in the list and the mean decreased to 165 what is the height of the Blue spruce?
postnew [5]
The height of the blue spruce was 45.

We find the mean by adding all of the data points and dividing by the number of data points.  We will add the unknown value x and change the number we're dividing by to 7:

(160+320+100+110+200+220+x)/7 = 165
(1110+x)/7 = 165

Multiply both sides by 7:
1110 + x = 1155

Subtract 1110 from both sides:
x = 45

C(1)=−20<br> c(n)=c(n−1)+10<br><br> Find the second term in the sequence. <br> ​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

c(2) = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation says that the first term of the sequence is -20.

The second equation is saying that to find any term of the sequence, add 10 to the previous term.

c(2) = c(2-1) + 10

c(2) = c(1) + 10

c(2) = -20  + 10 = -10
