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)

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.

A rectangular banner has a length that is two feet shorter than twice its height, ℎ. If the expression ℎ(2ℎ−2) represents the ar
densk [106]

Answer:

h = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given he area of the banner expressed as;

A =  ℎ(2ℎ−2)

h is the height of the banner

A is the area = 60

Substitute

60 =  ℎ(2ℎ−2)

60 = 2h² - 2h

30 = h² - h

h²-h-30 = 0

Factorize;

h²-6h+5h-30 = 0

h(h-6)+5(h-6) = 0

(h-6)(h+5) = 0

h - 6 = 0 and h+5 = 0

h = 6 and -5

Since the height cannot be negative;

h = 6

Hence he height of the banner is 6

Ocabulary Choose the example of an inverse relationship. A. Multiplying by 4 is the inverse of multiplying by –4. B. Multiplying
n200080 [17]

Answer:

C. Dividing by 4 is the inverse of multiplying by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given 4 options. We are asked to choose the option that represents inverse relationship.

We know that inverse of addition is subtraction and vice versa.

We also know that inverse of multiplication is division and inverse of division is multiplication.

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that option C is the correct choice because we are multiplying and dividing by same number 4. Upon dividing and multiplying a quantity by 4, we will get the same quantity.

\frac{4\cdot a}{4}=a

Therefore, dividing by 4 is the inverse of multiplying by 4.
