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.

Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

Consider the isosceles triangle. left side (2z+8)units, bottom of triangle (4z-10)units, right side of triangle (2z+8) units Part A Which expression represents the perimeter of the triangle? a.(4z+16) units b.(6z−2)units c.(8z−16) units d.(8z+6) units

Answer:

d. (8z + 6) units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Perimeter of a Triangle is :Side A + Side B + Side C

Hence,

(2z + 8)units + (4z - 10) units + (2z + 8)units

= (2z + 8 + 4z - 10 + 2z + 8)units

Collect like terms

= 2z + 4z + 2z + 8 - 10 + 8

= 8z + 6 units

The expression that represents the perimeter of the triangle is (8z +6) units

Mario has 3.875 liters of juice at the beginning of the day he drinks 2.79 liters during the day how much juice is left over st
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The juice left at the end of the day is 1.085 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juice at the beginning of the day: 3.875 liters

Juice drink by Mario during the day: 2.79 liters

Juice left at the end of the day = Juice at the beginning of the day - Juice drink by Mario during the day

                                                  = 3.875 - 2.79

                                                  = 1.085 liters
