You purchase a stereo system for $830. The value of the stereo system decreases 13% each year. a. Write an exponential decay mod

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. $y=830*(0.87)^x$

b. The value of stereo system after 2 years will be $628.23.

c. After approximately 4.98 years the stereo will be worth half the original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of years.

We have been given that you purchased a stereo system for $830. The value of the stereo system decreases 13% each year.

a. Since we know that an exponential function is in form: $y=a*b^x$ , where,

a = Initial value,

b = For decay b is in form (1-r), where r is rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

$13\%=\frac{13}{100}=0.13$

Upon substituting our given values in exponential decay function we will get

$y=830*(1-0.13)^x$

$y=830*(0.87)^x$

Therefore, the exponential model $y=830*(0.87)^x$ represents the value of the stereo system in terms of the number of years since the purchase.

b. To find the value of stereo system after 2 years we will substitute x=2 in our model.

$y=830*(0.87)^2$

$y=830*0.7569$

$y=628.227\approx 628.23$

Therefore, the value of stereo system after 2 years will be $628.23.

c. The half of the original price will be $\frac{830}{2}=415$ .

Let us substitute y=415 in our model to find the time it will take the stereo to be worth half the original value.

$415=830*(0.87)^x$

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 830 we will get,

$\frac{415}{830}=\frac{830*(0.87)^x}{830}$

$0.5=0.87^x$

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

$ln(0.5)=ln(0.87^x)$

Using natural log property $ln(a^b)=b*ln(a)$ we will get,

$ln(0.5)=x*ln(0.87)$

$\frac{ln(0.5)}{ln(0.87)}=\frac{x*ln(0.87)}{ln(0.87)}$

$\frac{ln(0.5)}{ln(0.87)}=x$

$\frac{-0.6931471805599}{-0.139262067}=x$

$x=4.977286\approx 4.98$

Therefore, after approximately 4.98 years the stereo will be worth half the original value.

A refrigerator costs $580 a year to run. A family purchases a new one for $1200 that will save them 22% annually in energy costs

NeTakaya

Answer:

It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.

Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.

22% of $580

= 580 × 0.22

= 127.6

That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.

Now,

$1200/127.6

≈ 9.4

Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
