Polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.
Using the rectangular route Mike rides 12 miles. If he rides diagonally the distance is √2²+10²=√4+100=√104.
The difference between the two routes is 12-√104=1.80 miles approximately.
First, we need to know how much the car depreciates each year. Multiply the price of the car by the percentage.
We can turn 9% into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the right.
9% = .09
24500 * .09 = 2205
Multiply the product by the amount of years you want to predict the price at.
2205 * 10 = 22050
Subtract that from the original price of the car.
24500 - 22050 = 2450
The value of a 10 year old car that costs $24500 and depreciates 9% every year will cost $2450.
