Answer:

When new, the scooter cost $900

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>

we have

A(t)=900(0.85)^t

This is a exponential function of the form

A(t)=a(b)^t

where

A(t) ----> represent the value of a motor scooter

t ----> the number of years after it was purchased

a ---> represent the initial value or y-intercept

b is the base of the exponential function

r is the percent rate of change

b=(1+r)

In this problem we have

a=\$900\\b=0.85

The base b is less than 1

That means ----> is a exponential decay function (is a decreasing function)

Find the percent rate of change

b=(1+r)\\0.85=1+r\\r=0.85-1\\r=-0.15

Convert to percentage (multiply by 100)

r=-15\% ---> negative means is a decreasing function

<u><em>Verify each statements</em></u>

<em>case A</em>) When new, the scooter cost $765.

The statement is false

Because the original value of the scooter was $900

case B) When new, the scooter cost $900

The statement is true (see the explanation)

case C) The scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 85%  each year

The statement is false

Because the scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 15%  each year (see the explanation)

case D) The scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of  0.15% each year

The statement is false

Because the scooter’s value is decreasing at a rate of 15%  each year (see the explanation)

The employers in 2012 paid 4.2%.

The employer should paid 6.2%.

And, the earning should be $45,000.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

4.2% * 45,000

= $1,890

Therefore, we will conclude that the number of earnings towards social security should be $1,890.

1)

The product of seven and a number x:   7·x = 7x

<u>Five less than the product of seven and a number x:</u>

<h3>7x - 5 </h3>

2)

nine times a number y:  9·y = 9y

<u>The difference of nine times a number y and eighteen:</u>

<h3>9y - 18 </h3>

3)

half a number n:   0.5n

four times the number:   4·n = 4n

<u>Half a number n increased by four times the number:</u>

<h3>0.5n + 4n </h3>

In creating the shooter-style game comparable to Space Invaders, we decided that each time the laser hits an object, the player
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Outcome

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not exactly certain but I believe the answer is outcome. For example: Each time the laser hits an object, the player gets a point. Because you're giving the cause, the laser hitting the object, and the effect, the player getting a point;its safe to assume that the element is outcome.
