Answer:
Function for given situation is : 
Value of computer after 4 years = $720.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the value of a $3000 computer decreases about 30% each year. Now we need to write a function for the computers value V(t). then we need to find about how much will the computer be worth in 4 years.
It clearly says that value decreases so that means function represents decay.
For decay we use formula:
where P=initial value = $3000,
r= rate of decrease =30% = 0.30
t= number of years
A=V(t) = future value
so the required function is 
or
Now plug t=4 years to get the value of computer after 4 years.
Hence final answer is $720.3.
Plotting the data to get the line of best fit, it is:
y<span> = 0.087</span>x<span> + 0.587
substitute x=2030-1980=50,
y = $4.94 is the price in 2030</span>
4x^2-5x-14 is your answer :)
First step is replacing x with -4. => -3=5y+8 => 5y= -8-3 => y =-11/5
Answer:
a. 19.68 miles per gallon.
b. 26.32 miles per gallon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean gas mileage (μ) = 23.0 mpg
Standard deviation (σ) = 4.9 mpg
In a normal distribution, for any length X, the z-score is determined by the following expression:
In a normal distribution, the 25th percentile (first quartile) of a normal distribution has a corresponding z-score of z = -0.677 and the 75th percentile has a corresponding z-score of z = 0.677
a. The first quartile of the distribution of gas mileage is
19.68 miles per gallon.
b. The third quartile of the distribution of gas mileage is
26.32 miles per gallon.
