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

Suppose we roll a fair die and let X represent the number on the die. (a) Find the moment generating function of X. (b) Use the
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

(a)  moment generating function for X is \frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{2 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)

(b) \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}

Step-by step explanation:

Given X represents the number on die.

The possible outcomes of X are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

For a fair die, P(X)=\frac{1}{6}

(a) Moment generating function can be written as M_{x}(t).

M_x(t)=\sum_{x=1}^{6} P(X=x)

M_{x}(t)=\frac{1}{6} e^{t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{2 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{3 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{4 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{5 t}+\frac{1}{6} e^{6 t}

M_x(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right)

(b) Now, find E(X) \text { and } E\((X^{2}) using moment generating function

M^{\prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+2 e^{2 t}+3 e^{3 t}+4 e^{4 t}+5 e^{5 t}+6 e^{6 t}\right)

M^{\prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+2+3+4+5+6)  

\Rightarrow E(X)=\frac{21}{6}

M^{\prime \prime}(t)=\frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+4 e^{2 t}+9 e^{3 t}+16 e^{4 t}+25 e^{5 t}+36 e^{6 t}\right)

M^{\prime \prime}(0)=E(X)=\frac{1}{6}(1+4+9+16+25+36)

\Rightarrow E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}  

Hence, (a) moment generating function for X is \frac{1}{6}\left(e^{t}+e^{2 t}+e^{3 t}+e^{4 t}+e^{5 t}+e^{6 t}\right).

(b) \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{X})=\frac{21}{6} \text { and } E\left(X^{2}\right)=\frac{91}{6}
