A car purchased for $34,000 is expected to lose value, or depreciate, at a rate of 6% per year. Using x for years and y for the

value of the car, write the equation that models this situation. After how many years is the car first worth less than $21,000

The equation is y=34000(1-0.06)ˣ.

It will take nearly 8 years for the car to lose enough value to be worth less than $21,000.

Using 21,000 for y, we have
21000=34000(1-0.06)ˣ
21000=34000(0.94)ˣ

Dividing both sides by 34000:
21000/34000 = 34000(0.94)ˣ/34000
(21/34) = 0.94ˣ

Using logarithms to solve this,
\log_{0.94}(\frac{21}{34})=x
\\x=7.79 \approx8

y-------> </span><span>the probability that a student takes Drivers Education given that the Student is taking Spanish
z-------> </span><span>The probability that a student at school takes Drivers Education and Spanish 

we know that
z=x*y------> solve for y
y=z/x
z=87/1000
x=68/100
substitute
y=(87/1000)/(68/100)-----------> y=87/680

the answer is

Naya [18.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. 3

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Fill in the given values in the formula (h=0, r=48) and solve for t.

... 0 = 48t -16t²

... 0 = 16t(3 -t)

This is true for t = 0 and for t = 3.

The ball will take 3 seconds to hit the ground.

How do I find a2 and a3 for the following geometric sequence? 54, a2, a3, 128
vlada-n [284]
The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence:
a_n=a_1 \times r^{n-1}
a₁ - the first term, r - the common ratio

54, a_2, a_3, 128 \\ \\&#10;a_1=54 \\&#10;a_4=128 \\ \\&#10;a_n=a_1 \times r^{n-1} \\&#10;a_4=a_1 \times r^3 \\&#10;128=54 \times r^3 \\&#10;\frac{128}{54}=r^3 \\ \frac{128 \div 2}{54 \div 2}=r^3 \\&#10;\frac{64}{27}=r^3 \\&#10;\sqrt[3]{\frac{64}{27}}=\sqrt[3]{r^3} \\&#10;\frac{\sqrt[3]{64}}{\sqrt[3]{27}}=r \\&#10;r=\frac{4}{3}

a_2=a_1 \times r= 54 \times \frac{4}{3}=18 \times 4=72 \\&#10;a_3=a_2 \times r=72 \times \frac{4}{3}=24 \times 4=96 \\ \\&#10;\boxed{a_2=72, a_3=96}
