Ed's new car has a value of $23,500, but it is expected to depreciate at a rate of 7.5% per year. If you were to write an expone

Answer:

0.925 or 92.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(1-b)^x

decay factor is 1-b <- and the part we care about

b is 7.5%=0.075

1-0.075

=0.925

I'm a little rusty on exponential rates, but I hope this helps!

I need help w/ this problem...please don't answer if you don't know and PLEASE answer as fast as you can...I'm desperate.

There's a very simple rule for geometries like this. The measure of the arc is double the measure of the angle. It helps to remember this.

Your angle is 65°.
The measure of the arc is 2×65° = 130°.

Use f’( x ) = lim With h ---&gt; 0 [f( x + h ) - f ( x )]/h to find the derivative at x for the given function. 5-x²
beks73 [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The derivative of the function f(x) is:

                 f'(x)=-2x

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a function f(x) as:

f(x)=5-x^2

We have:

f(x+h)=5-(x+h)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\f(x+h)=5-(x^2+h^2+2xh)

( Since,

(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab )

Hence, we get:

f(x+h)=5-x^2-h^2-2xh

Also, by using the definition of f'(x) i.e.

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

Hence, on putting the value in the formula:

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{5-x^2-h^2-2xh-(5-x^2)}{h}\\\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{5-x^2-h^2-2xh-5+x^2}{h}\\\\i.e.\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-h^2-2xh}{h}\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-h^2}{h}+\dfrac{-2xh}{h}\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} -h-2x\\\\i.e.\ on\ putting\ the\ limit\ we\ obtain:\\\\f'(x)=-2x

      Hence, the derivative of the function f(x) is:

          f'(x)=-2x

What is the ratio 14/15 expressed in simplest form? <br><br><br><br> PLZZ HELP!
agasfer [191]

14  and  15  have no common factor except ' 1 ' ,
so the fraction  14/15  can't be simplified.

It's already in the simplest available form ("lowest terms").

64.8=6(m+2.9) <br> what is m<br> please help me and explain how did you get your answer
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

= −11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

64.8=6(m+22)

We move all terms to the left:

64.8-(6(m+22))=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(6(m+22)), so:

6(m+22)

We multiply parentheses

6m+132

Back to the equation:

-(6m+132)

We get rid of parentheses

-6m-132+64.8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6m-67.2=0

We move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right

-6m=67.2
