The value of a small airplane depreciates exponentially every year after it is purchased. The value, in thousands of dollars, a(

t), of Plane X, t years after purchase can be approximated by this function.
a(t) = 131.5(0.8)
What does the number 131.5 in the function above represent in the context of the situation?​

Answer:

The number 131.5 represents the original value of a small airplane.

Step-by-step explanation:

131.50 is the initial cost of a small airplane.

The value decreases each year after purchase.

Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

<h3>Exponential function:</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

A(t) = 131.5(0.8)^t

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

in 1990 Jamaica's population of 2,466,000 was expected to grow exponentially by 1.1% each year. what is the range of the exponen
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Initial population is 2,466,000 ( p0 )

Growth is 1.1% each year ( r=1.1

p(t)=p0(1+r)t

After 30 years, the population of Jamaica should be 3.42 million by that calculation, but it is only 2.95 million, so apparently that growth rate was a little high, or wasn’t sustained.

Given the linear equation, 2x +4= 6, find the rate, initial value, and specific value.
kap26 [50]

Answer: B. The rate is 2, the initial value is 4, and the specific value is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

for a linear function y = a*x + b

Rate = coefficient that is multiplicating the variable. ( a in this case)

Initial value = value taken of y, when we have x = 0 (b in this case)

Specific value = value forced on y.

In this case, we have:

y = 6 = 2*x + 4

Then:

The coefficient multiplicating x is 2, so the rate is 2.

The constant term is 4, so the initial value is 4.

The value equal to y is 6, so the specific value is 6.

The correct option is B.

9/10 ÷ 5/10<br> can you please explain?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Dividing by 1/2 is like multiplying par 2, right ?

Dividing by 5/10 is like multiplying par 10/5, right ?

and then

\dfrac{\dfrac{9}{10}}{\dfrac{5}{10}}=\dfrac{9}{10}\times \dfrac{10}{5}=\dfrac{9}{5}

as 10/10=1

Thanks
