Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                      Part a)

Given the table

Year             Value ($)

1                    18,000

2                   15,300                

3                   13,005

Let us check the sequence

18000, 15300, 13005,...

Let us find the common ratio 'r' of all the adjacent terms to check whether the sequence represents the geometric sequence or not, using the formula such as:

\:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}

\frac{15300}{18000}=\frac{17}{20},\:\quad \frac{13005}{15300}=\frac{17}{20}

As the ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same, so

r=\frac{17}{20}

Therefore, the given sequence is a geometric sequence

                                                  Part b)

Given the sequence

18000, 15300, 13005,...

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

here

a_1=18000

r=\frac{17}{20}

so

a_n=18000\left(\frac{17}{20}\right)^{n-1}

In order to determine the car worth in the 15th year, substitute n = 15

a_{15}=18000\left(\frac{17}{20}\right)^{15-1}

a_{15}=18000\frac{17^{14}}{20^{14}}

a_{15}=18000\times \:\:0.10276

a_{15}=1850 $

Therefore, the worth of a car in the 15th year will be: $1850

Leni [432]

Answer:

167.55 units cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone formula: πr^2(h/3)

r = 4, h = 10

Equation:

π(4^2)(10/3)

= π(16)(3.333333)

= 167.551608

Explain that you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only one and a half full with water show your work and sol
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The volume of water in the fish tank is 4.5 cubic feet

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Explain how you found the volume of water in the fish tank if it was only 1/2 full with water. Show your work and solution. Don't forget your UNITS!

You have a fish tank with the following dimensions:

Height: 3 feet

Width: 1.5 feet

Length: 2 feet

step 1

Find the volume of the fish tank

The volume of a rectangular prism ( fish tank) is equal to

V=LWH

substitute the given values

V=(2)(1.5)(3)=9\ ft^3

step 2

Find the volume of water in the fish tank

Remember that

The fish tank it was only one and a half full with water

so

Multiply the volume of the fish tank by one and a half to obtain the volume of water

\frac{1}{2}(9)=4.5\ ft^3

Use your knowledge of the process of "Writing an equation given two points" to solve the following problem: A vendor has learned
nydimaria [60]

Answer: Our required linear equation would be x+48y=148

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of deep fried bananas on a stick = $1.00

Number of sales reached = 100 per day

Cost of deep fried bananas on a stick becomes = $2.00

Number of sales reached = 52 per day.

Let x is the number of dollars each.

Let y be the number of vendors sale.

So, we need to form the linear equation:

As we know the formula for two point slope form:

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=\dfrac{2-1}{52-100}(x-100)\\\\y-1=\dfrac{1}{-48}(x-100)\\\\-48(y-1)=(x-100)\\\\-48y+48=x-100\\\\-48y=x-100-48\\\\-48y=x-148\\\\x+48y=148

Hence, our required linear equation would be x+48y=148
