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.

Which expressions are equivalent to when x0? Check all that apply.
Genrish500 [490]
We have that

\frac{(x+4)}{3} / \frac{6}{x} = \frac{x*(x+4)}{3*6} \\ \\ = \frac{( x^{2} +4x)}{18}

therefore

case a) 
\frac{(x+4)}{3} * \frac{x}{6}
Is equivalent

case b) 
\frac{6}{x} * \frac{(x+4)}{3}
Is not equivalent

case c) 
\frac{x}{6} * \frac{(x+4)}{3}
Is  equivalent

case d) 
\frac{(2 x^{2} +4x)}{6}
Is not equivalent

case e) 
\frac{(2 x^{2} +4x)}{18}
Is equivalent

Hence

the answer is

\frac{(x+4)}{3} * \frac{x}{6}

\frac{x}{6} * \frac{(x+4)}{3}

\frac{(2 x^{2} +4x)}{18}
