Answers:
- a) 15000 represents the starting amount
- b) The decay rate is 16%, which means the car loses 16% of its value each year.
- c) x is the number of years
- d) f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by
========================================================
Explanation:
We have the function f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x. If we plug in x = 0, then we get,
f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x
f(0) = 15000(0.84)^0
f(0) = 15000(1)
f(0) = 15000
In the third step, I used the idea that any nonzero value to the power of 0 is always 1. The rule is x^0 = 1 for any nonzero x.
So that's how we get the initial value of the car. The car started off at $15,000.
-------------
The growth or decay rate depends entirely on the base of the exponential, which is 0.84; compare it to 1+r and we see that 1+r = 0.84 solves to r = -0.16 which converts to -16%. The negative indicates the value is going down each year. So we have 16% decay or the value is going down 16% per year.
------------
The value of x is the number of years. In the first section, x = 0 represented year 0 or the starting year. If x = 1, then one full year has passed by. For x = 2, we have two full years pass by, and so on.
------------
The value of f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by. We found that f(x) = 15000 when x = 0. In other words, at the start the car is worth $15,000. Plugging in other x values leads to other f(x) values. For example, if x = 2, then you should find that f(x) = 10584. This means the car is worth $10,584 after two years.
You should know that:
(a+b)(a+b)(a+b)
=a(a+b)(a+b)+b(a+b)(a+b)
=a(a²+2ab+b²)+b(a²+2ab+b²)
=a³+2a²b+ab²+a²b+2ab²+b³
=a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³
-----------------
If a=5x and b=-4y
(5x+(-4y))³
=(5x-4y)³
=(5x)³+3(5x)²(-4y)+3(5x)(-4y)²+(-4y)³
=125x³+3(25x²)(-4y)+15x(16y²)-64y³
=125x³+75x²(-4y)+240xy²-64y³
=125x³-300x²y+240xy²-64y³
Information Given: She has 12 groups of sheep, 3 groups of cows and 2 groups of pigs. Question asks: There are 150 more sheep than pigs. How many cows has she got?
They figured 150 more sheep than pigs from 2 pigs X 75 sheep=150 lambs of 12 groups of sheep.
150 lambs/3 groups of cows=50 cows.
She has 50 cows from 3 groups of cows.
Answer:
2 gallons
since each pitcher holds 2 quarts of water and 4 quarts= 1 gallon, Desta poured 2 gallons of water into her cooler
