Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the info given in the exponential equation to find the value of b, the rate of decay.
where v(t) is the value of the car after a certain number of years, t, have gone by, a is the initial value, and b is the rate of decay. We have everything we need but b:
a = 20000
v(t) = 16000 after t = 1 year:
so
b = .8 Taken in context, this means that the car depreciates 20% each year. Now we can solve the problem being asked of us, which is to find the value of the car after t = 5 years:
which simplifies down a bit to
v(t) = 20000(.32768) so
v(t) = 6553.60, choice C.
= -1/8x^5 + 8x^4 + x^2 + 3x - 7
Answer:
slope = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 0)
m = 
= 
= 1
C because that’s the equations to find the proportion;)
