Answer:
The truck is worth $5,135 when 9 years have passed
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial value of Alex's new truck: $42,935
Loss of value per year: $4,200
If n years passed, the truck would have lost
The current value of the truck will be
We want to know the value of n at which V is 5,135
Solving for n
n=9 years
Answer:
48 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to find the length of the wire
from the diagram, we can identify two similar triangles
The smaller one and a bigger one
Mathematically, when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal
We can start by getting the height of the tower
we have this as:
8/11 = 28/x
8 * x = 28 * 11
8x = 308
x = 308/8
x = 38.5 ft
So as we can see, the wire represents the hypotenuse of the larger triangle that measures 28 ft base and 38.5 ft height
So we can use the Pythagoras’ theorem to get the hypotenuse
Let us call this g
mathematically according to the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
thus, we have it that;
g^2 = 38.5^2 + 28^2
g^2 = 2,266.25
g = √2,266.25
g = 47.61 which is approximately 48 ft
If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.
If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.
The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.
Hope this helps! :)
