Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Halving Formula:

y=a\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{h}}

y=a(

1

​

)

h

t

​

a=17000\hspace{40px}h=3\hspace{40px}t=19

a=17000h=3t=19

h is the halving time

\text{Plug in:}

Plug in:

y=17000\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{19}{3}}

y=17000(

y=210.826702215

y=210.826702215

y\approx 200

y≈200

Answer:

The answer is "$238".

Step-by-step explanation:

Current worth= \$ 17,000

depreciates by \frac{1}{2} in 3 years.

time=  19 years

depreciates rate=?

Using formula:

\to \text{Worth=  Current worth}(1- \frac{\text{depreciates rate}}{100})^{time}

\to A_t=A_0(1-\frac{r}{100})^t

calculates depreciate value in 3 year = \frac{1}{2} \times 17,000

                                                              = 8,500

so,

A_t=8,500\\\\A_0=17,000\\\\t=3\ years

\to A_t=A_0(1-\frac{r}{100})^t\\\\\to 8,500= 17,000(1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to \frac{8,500}{17,000}= (1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to \frac{1}{2}= (1-\frac{r}{100})^3\\\\\to (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{1}{3}}= (1-\frac{r}{100})\\\\\to 0.793700526 = (1-\frac{r}{100})\\\\\to \frac{r}{100} = (1-0.793700526)\\\\\to \frac{r}{100} = (1-0.8)\\\\\to r= 0.2 \times 100 \\\\\to r= 20 \%

depreciates rate= 20%

\to \text{Worth=  Current worth}(1- \frac{\text{depreciates rate}}{100})^{time}

= \$ 17,000 (1- \frac{20}{100})^{19}\\\\= \$ 17,000 (1-0.2)^{19}\\\\= \$ 17,000 (0.8)^{19}\\\\= \$ 17,000 \times 0.014\\\\= \$ 238

mart [117]
(50,45)(125,37.50)
slope(m) = (37.50 - 45) / (125 - 50) = -7.5/75 = -0.1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.1
(50,45)...x = 50 and y = 45
now we sub and find b, the y int
45 = -0.1(50) + b
45 = - 5 + b
45 + 5 = b
50 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.1x + 50

so it the staff sells 150 yearbooks...
y = -0.1x + 50
y = -0.1(150) + 50
y = -15 + 50
y =  35 <== price per yearbook

Harman [31]

Answer:

x = -7/2 multiplicity 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

 4x^2 + 28x + 49 = 0

(2x + 7)(2x + 7) = 0

This is a perfect square.

2x + 7 = 0, so:

x = -7/2 multiplicity 2.
