Complete question:

Rich is comparing the cost of maintaining his car with the depreciation value of the car.

The value starts at $20,000 and decreases by 15% each year. The maintanance cost is $500 the first year and increases by 28% per year.

When will the maintenance cost and the value be the same.

Answer:

9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation is modeled by an exponential function :

A = p(1 - r)^t [decrease, '-']

A = 20,000(1 - 0.15)^t

A = 20000(0.85)^t - - - (1)

Maintainace cost :

A = p(1 + r)^t ; [increase, '+']

A = 500(1 + 0.28)^t

A = 500(1.28)^t - - - (2)

Equating (1) and 2

20000(0.85)^t = 500(1.28)^t

1.28^t / 0.85^t = 20000/500

(1.28 / 0.85)^t = 40

Take log of both sides

Log (1.28 / 0.85)^t = log 40

t * 0.1777910 = 1.6020599

t = 1.6020599 / 0.1777910

t = 9.01

t = 9 years

Parallel to y=−3x−2, through (-3, -3)
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1) <---memorize this. The m here is the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in y=mx+b form

Remember mx=slope and b=y-intercept

The question wants you to find the equation that is Parallel to y=-3x-2 and passes through (-3,-3)=(x1,y1)

Parallel=same slope -3x

So now all that's left is to plug into the equation.

y-(-3)=-3(x-(-3))

y+3=-3(x+3) ----> positive - a negative = positive so x-(-x)=x+x

y+3=-3x-9 ----> distribute like terms(subtract 3 from 3 and 3 from -9)

y=-3x-12 - This is your answer, you can check by graphing it.

The volume of a cube is 27n^27 cubic units. What is the length of one side of the cube?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The volume of a cube (V) is given in terms of its side length (s) as

... V = s³

You have

... 27n²⁷ = s³

You may recognize that 27 = 3³, so this can be written as

3^3\cdot n^{3\cdot 9} = \left(3n^{9}\right)^{3}=s^{3}\\\\3n^{9}=s\qquad\mbox{taking cube roots}

This result matches your second selection

... 3n⁹ units
