The exponential formula for this situtation will be given by:
f(x)=ae^(-bx)
where:
a=initial price
b=rate
x=time in years
hence the formula will be:
f(x)=28750e^(-0.12x)
thus the value of the car in 2018 will be:
x=2018-2012=6 years
thus
f(6)=28750e^(-0.12*6)
f(6)=$13,994.13
Area = Length x Width
On a square, the length and width are both equal (6 inches)
Substitute the 6 in for length and width
Area = 6 x 6
Answer:
Area = 36
Imagine right triangle PHF, where P - park, H - home and F - football field, then PH, PF are legs and HF is hypotenuse . Denote point L to be library. You know that point L lies on the segment FH and FL=8, LH=2. Also you know that PL is an altitude to the hypotenuse.
Use the property of altitude drawn from the vertex of right angle to the hypotenuse (the length of the altitude is geometrical mean between legs' projections onto hypotenuse):
mi.
This means that the distance between park and libriry is 4 miles.
Consider right triangle PLF ( angle L is right angle and PF - hypotenuse). By the Pythagorean theorem,
mi. The distance between park and football field is
miles.
Answer: the distance between park and libriry is 4 miles and the distance between park and football field is
miles.
