Answer:
Value of the car after x years
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential functions are generally expressed in the form: and since this function is decreasing, meaning it has an exponential decay, it can be expressed as:
where r=rate of decay.
In this case the a represents the initial value or y-intercept, since when x=0, (1-r)^0 = 1, so we just have y=a(1) or y=a
The r represents the rate of decay
the x usually represents the time in seconds, days, months, or whatever unit is being used
The y value represents the value of whatever your measuring, and in this context it represents the value of the car after x years.
This is because a represents the initial value
After one year it's only 85% worth it's initial value or 15% less which is represented as 0.85(a)
After two years it's only 85% worth the previous year or 15% less the previous year, which is represented as 0.85(0.85(a))
This will continue to decrease the number of years increase
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the equation of the ellipse. Since the denominator is greater for the y values, we have a vertical ellipse. Remember a>b, so a
The formula for the foci of the vertical ellipse is
(h,k+c) and (h,k-c).
where c is
Our center (h,k) is (2, -5)
Here a^2 is 9, b^2 is 4.
So our foci is
