Janey bought a used bicycle for $640. the bike was 3 years old when she bought it, and cost $850 new. assuming it decreases in v

alue by the same amount each year, write a linear equation for the value of the bicycle, v, when it is t years old (so t = 0 was when it was new).

The first thing we must do in this case is to define the variables.
 We have then:
 v: the value of the bicycle
 t: years
 The standard equation of the line is:
 v-vo = m (t-to)
 The slope is:
 m = (v2-v1) / (t2-t1)
 Substituting values:
 m = (640-850) / (3-0)
 m = -70
 We choose an ordered pair:
 (to, vo) = (0, 850)
 Substituting values:
 v-850 = -70 (t-0)
 Rewriting:
 v = -70t + 850
 Answer:
 
assuming it decreases in value by the same amount each year, a linear equation for the value of the bicycle, v, when it is t years old is:
 
v = -70t + 850

(PLEASE HELP) What is the area of a circle with a radius of 8 units
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A = 64π units = about 201.06 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area is

A = πr^2, where r=radius.

Plug in our radius to get the area!

A = π8^2

<u>A = 64π = about 201.06 units</u>

In Mr. Harold's class there are 12 students. They each have 5 pencils. Some of the students, s, each lost 2 pencils. Now, the st
Katena32 [7]
The answer would be C. (12 x 5) - (s x 2) = 38.

This is because if there are 12 students with 5 pencils per student, we can say 12 x 5. Then, think of the phrase, two pencils lost per student. That would be 2s, or (s x 2). Since it’s lost, we would subtract that amount from 12 x 5.

Please help me :((!!!!
Alika [10]
This seems like a concept you’re going to learn and use so I’ll do a problem per section and explain.

Well basically this is a concept: if it’s a negative exponent it’s just 1/number^exponent.

So for example:
#1. 1/(10)^2 = 10^-2

The standard notation:
#9: You know that 1/(10)^3 you could either put it in a calculator or realize that you take the number 1, and move the decimal to the left three times. 0.001 would be the answer.

Scientific notation:
combines these topics. Let’s take #17. 0.025. Scientific notation means you write it as a number multiplied by 10^? So let’s see how many places you can move the decimal to get a number without the zeros.

0.025 => move it two places to the right. So that’s 2.5. Now 2.5 multiplied by what 10^? Would give you 0.025? It would be 10^-2. So your answer would be 2.5 x 10^-2.

For all of these, use your knowledge of the power of tens and dividing by tens! ^^ you got this. Let me know if you need help after this explanation.

solve the following word problem. use x for the unknown value. the average cost of a car in 2013 is said to be 5 less than twice
Rashid [163]
Let the average cost of car in 2009 be $x, then the average cost of a car in 2013 is 2x - 5
25,000 = 2x - 5
2x = 25,000 + 5 = 25,005
x = 25,005/2 = $12,502.50
