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

I’m need this worked out step by step by tonight

Answer:

  -3 ≤ x ≤ 19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This inequality can be resolved to a compound inequality:

  -7 ≤ (3x -5)/2 ≤ 7

Multiply all parts by 2.

  -14 ≤ 3x -5 ≤ 14

Add 5 to all parts.

  -9 ≤ 3x ≤ 19

Divide all parts by 3.

  -3 ≤ x ≤ 19/3

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you subtract 7 from both sides of the given inequality, it becomes ...

  |(3x -5)/2| -7 ≤ 0

Then you're looking for the values of x that bound the region where the graph is below the x-axis. Those are shown in the attachment. For graphing purposes, I find this comparison to zero works well.

__

For an algebraic solution, I like the compound inequality method shown above. That only works well when the inequality is of the form ...

  |f(x)| < (some number) . . . . or ≤

If the inequality symbol points away from the absolute value expression, or if the (some number) expression involves the variable, then it is probably better to write the inequality in two parts with appropriate domain specifications:

  |f(x)| > g(x)   ⇒   f(x) > g(x) for f(x) > 0; or -f(x) > g(x) for f(x) < 0

Any solutions to these inequalities must respect their domains.
