Answer: The value of the car after 3 years is $5,333.333

And no, the relationship is not linear, is an exponential decay.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every year, the car loses 1/3 of its value.

So if the initial value of the car is V.

After one year, the new value of the car will be:

Value (1 year) = V - (1/3)*V = (2/3)*V

After another year, the value will be:

Value (2 years) = (2/3)*V - (1/3)*(2/3)*V = V*(2/3)^2

Ok, we already can see that this is an exponential decay.

(So no, this is not a linear relationship).

The value equation as a function of the number of years will be:

Value(N) = V*(2/3)^N

Then if the initial cost of a car is $18,000, and we want to know its value after 3 years, we need to replace V by $18,000 and N by 3 in the above equation:

Value(3) = $18,000*(2/3)^3 = $5,333.333

An object is launched from a platform. Its height (in meters), xxx seconds after the launch, is modeled by: h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60h(x

EastWind [94]

It takes 6 seconds for it to hit the ground.

0 = -5x²+20x+60

We can solve this by factoring. First factor out the GCF, -5:

0 = -5(x²-4x-12)

Now we want factors of -12 that sum to -4. -6(2) = -12 an -6+2 = -4:
0 = -5(x-6)(x+2)

Using the zero product property, we know that either x-6=0 or x+2=0; this gives us the answers x=6 or x=-2. Since we cannot have negative time, x=6.

What is the completely factored from of 9x2+24x+16

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

(3x+4)(3x+4) is factor of given expression.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression $9x^2+24x+16$

Formula: $a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$

First we write each term as perfect square as formula.

$\Rightarrow 9x^2+24x+16$

$\Rightarrow (3x)^2+2\cdot 3x\cdot 4+4^2$

Using formula , a=3x and b=4

$\therefore (3x)^2+2\cdot 3x\cdot 4+4^2=(3x+4)^2$

Now we write same number two times.

Hence, (3x+4)(3x+4) is factor of given expression.

What is the quotient of 2 1/9÷3 4/5

Karolina [17]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 \frac{1}{9} \div 3 \frac{4}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{2 \times 9 + 1}{9} \div \frac{3 \times 5 + 4}{5} \\ \\ = \frac{18 + 1}{9} \div \frac{15 + 4}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{19}{9} \div \frac{19}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{19}{9} \times \frac{5}{19} \\ \\ = \frac{5}{9}$

A library subscribes to two different weekly news magazines, each of which is supposed to arrive in Wednesday�s mail. In actuali

Softa [21]

Answer:

P(Y = 0) = 0.09

P(Y = 1) = 0.4

P(Y = 2) = 0.32

P(Y = 3) = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be:

$W =$ Wednesday

$T =$ Thursday

$F =$ Friday

$S =$ Saturday

Their corresponding probabilities are

$P(W) = 0.3\\P(T) = 0.4\\P(F) = 0.2\\P(S) = 0.1$

Since $Y$ = number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive(so possible $Y$ values are 0, 1, 2 or 3)

The possible number of outcomes are therefore $4^2 = 16\\(W, W), (W, T), (W, F), (W, S)\\(T, W), (T, T), (T, F), (T, S)\\(F, W), (F, T), (F, F), (F, S)\\(S, W), (S, T), (S, F), (S, S)$

The values associated for each of the outcomes are as follows:

$Y(W, W) = 0, Y(W, T) = 1, Y(W, F) = 2, Y(W, S) = 3\\Y(T, W) = 1, Y(T, T) = 1, Y(T, F) = 2, Y(T, S) = 3\\Y(F, W) = 2, Y(F, T) = 2, Y(F, F) = 2, Y(F, S) = 3\\Y(S, W) = 3, Y(S, T) = 3, Y(S, F) = 3, Y(S, S) = 3$

The probability mass function of $Y$ is,

$P(Y = 0) = 0.3(0.3) = 0.09\\P(Y = 1) = P[(W, T) or (T, W) or (T, T)]\\= [0.3(0.4) + 0.3(0.4) + 0.4(0.4)]\\= 0.4\\\\P(Y = 2) = P[(W, F) or (T, F) or (F, W) or (F, T) or (F, F)]\\= [0.3(0.2) + 0.4(0.2) + 0.2(0.3) + 0.2(0.4) + 0.2(0.2)]\\= 0.32\\\\P(Y = 3) = P[(W, S) or (T, S) or (F, S) or (S, W) or (S, T) or (S, F) or (S, S)]\\= [0.3(0.1) + 0.4(0.1) + 0.2(0.1) + 0.1(0.3) 0.1(0.4) + 0.1(0.2) + 0.1(0.1)]\\= 0.19$
