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.
Answer:
r=-40
Step-by-step explanation:
r/-8=5
times -8 on both sides
5 times -8 =-40
r=-40

Answer:
y=−x/2+2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=2x−5.
The slope of the perpendicular line is negative inverse: m=−12.
So, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=−x/2+a.
To find a, we use the fact that the line should pass through the given point: 3=(−12)⋅(−2)+a.
Thus, a=2.
Therefore, the equation of the line is y=−x/2+2.
The mean of the data is 11
now we find the difference between the mean and each number
1, 2, 3, 0.5, 0.25, 1.25, 1.
now we square the numbers
1, 4, 9, 0.25, 0.0625, 1.
now we find the mean of the new numbers
which is 2.1875
2.1875 is your standard deviation.
