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.

If f(x)=4x3+3x2−5x+20 and g(x)=9x3−4x2+10x−55, what is (g−f)(x)?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(g-f)(x) = 9x³ - 4x² + 10x - 55 - [ 4x³ +3x² - 5x + 20]

To remove the parenthesis, take - inside, multiply f(x) by -1

= 9x³ - 4x² + 10x - 55 -  4x³ - 3x² + 5x - 20  

Now, bring like terms together,

= 9x³ - 4x³ - 4x² - 3x² + 10x + 5x - 55 - 20

= 5x³ - 7x² + 15x - 75

The graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated (5,2,3) units (down,up,left,right) , and g(x) =(f(x-3),f(x)-5,f(x)+3,f(x-2),f(x)+
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated <u>2</u> units <u>right</u>, and g(x) = <u>f(x-2)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) passes through points (0, -5) and (1, -2), then the slope of g(x) is the same as the slope of f(x), which is 3.

f(x) passes through (0, 1) and g(x) passes through (2, 1). Therefore, the graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated 2 units right.

f(x - c) translates f(x) c units to the right, therefore g(x) = f(x-2)

In order to check this result, we make:

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(x-2) = 3(x-2) + 1

f(x-2) = 3x - 6 + 1

f(x-2) = 3x - 5 = g(x)

1. What is 3/4 divided by 1/6
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

9/2 or 4 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 3/4 ÷ 1/6 = 3/4 × 6
  • 3/4 × 6 = 18/4
  • 18/4 = 9/2
  • 9/2 = 4 1/2

Therefore, the answer is 9/2 or 4 1/2.
