10. Write quadratic function with zeros -4, -7

F(x) = 15,000(.84) shows the value of a car each year. Describe the following:

makvit [3.9K]

Answers:

a) 15000 represents the starting amount
b) The decay rate is 16%, which means the car loses 16% of its value each year.
c) x is the number of years
d) f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by

========================================================

Explanation:

We have the function f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x. If we plug in x = 0, then we get,

f(x) = 15000(0.84)^x

f(0) = 15000(0.84)^0

f(0) = 15000(1)

f(0) = 15000

In the third step, I used the idea that any nonzero value to the power of 0 is always 1. The rule is x^0 = 1 for any nonzero x.

So that's how we get the initial value of the car. The car started off at $15,000.

-------------

The growth or decay rate depends entirely on the base of the exponential, which is 0.84; compare it to 1+r and we see that 1+r = 0.84 solves to r = -0.16 which converts to -16%. The negative indicates the value is going down each year. So we have 16% decay or the value is going down 16% per year.

------------

The value of x is the number of years. In the first section, x = 0 represented year 0 or the starting year. If x = 1, then one full year has passed by. For x = 2, we have two full years pass by, and so on.

------------

The value of f(x) is the value of the car after x years have gone by. We found that f(x) = 15000 when x = 0. In other words, at the start the car is worth $15,000. Plugging in other x values leads to other f(x) values. For example, if x = 2, then you should find that f(x) = 10584. This means the car is worth $10,584 after two years.

Which exponential function is represented by the values in the table?

svlad2 [7]

Here we use the equation

$y = a(b)^x$

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)

Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

$4 = a(b)^0
\\
4 = a(1) \\
a =4$

Substituting (1,2) we will get

$2 = 4 (b)^1
\\
2/4 = b
\\
b = 1/2$

So we have

$a = 4, b = 1/2$

Therefore , required equation is

$y = 4(1/2)^x$

Select all that are true for g(x) = 10/x (PLEASE ANSWER FAST ILL LOVE YOU FOREVER)

Ksivusya [100]

The given function is:

$g(x)= \frac{10}{x}$

The parents functions of g(x) will be:

$f(x)= \frac{1}{x}$

The domain of g(x) and its parent function is the same i.e. Set of all Real numbers except 0.

The range of g(x) and its parent function is the same i.e. set of all real numbers except 0.

g(x) and its parent function only decrease. They do not increase over any interval. However, the interval in which they decrease is the same for both.

So, the correct answers are:
The domain of g(x) is the same as the domain of the parent function.
<span>The range is the same as the range of the parent function.
</span><span>The function g(x) decreases over the same x-values as the parent function.</span>
