Answer:

328.05 dollars

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

y=500(.9)^4 =328.05

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to the price of the video game after 4 years.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the <u>initial price is $500</u>, the <u>value depreciates 10% each year </u>because we have .9 or 90% of the price going into the next year.

- value of the video game after first year 90% of 500 so is 450

- value of the video game after second year 90% of 450 so is 405

-value of the video game after third year 90% of 405 so is 364.5

-value of the video game after <u>fourth year</u> 90% of 364.5 so is 328.05

The plan is to substitute x with 4 and calculate y, y=500(.9)^4

What is your answer and what does it mean?

The answer is $328.05, and it means that the video game that was initially worth $500 it lost its' value by 10 % each of the four years.

2.

         y= 500(.9)^x

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

x =8, y= 500(0.9)^8 = 215.234 ≈215.23, this is less than $250

x = 7, y= 500(0.9)^7 = 239.148 ≈239.15, this is less than $250

x =6, y= 500(0.9)^6 = 265.721 ≈ 265.72, this is more than $250

What is being asked in the problem and what does that mean?

We are asked to find the value of x that represents the years such that the value of the console is still under $250.

What do I know and what does it mean? What plan am I going to try?

We know the value of y has to be less that $250, we know the inequality

[500(.9)^x ] < 250, the plan is to try different values for x until we have the maximum value of x that gives us less than 250.

Write 3/5 as a division
ollegr [7]

Answer:

3/5 as a division is 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a fraction as a division, we basically divide the values, since the fraction represents a division.

In this question:

We want 3 divided by 5.

3 is less than 5, so we can multiply 3 by 10(getting 30), and adding a 0 to the quotient.

So now 0.(30/5) = 0.6, which means that 3/5 as a division is 0.6.

If y varies inversely as x, find the constant of variation if y=36 when x=9
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

k = 324

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies inversely as x

Let k be the constant of variation

Y = k/ x

Y= 36 and x= 9

Substitute the value of Y and x

36 = k/9

Make k the subject of the formula

k= 36*9

k =324
