Answer:
The value at the end of the fifth year (a5) is equal to $5,696.
As the number of years n is the exponent of a number that is smaller than 1, the value of the car is decreasing with the years.
We also can conclude that the value of the car decreases 25% each year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the car is represented by an=24000(3/4)^n, where n is the year.
The value at the end of the fifth year (a5) is equal to:
As the number of years n is the exponent of a number that is smaller than 1, the value of the car is decreasing with the years.
We also can conclude that the value of the car decreases 25% each year:

Answer:
58.5 ft by 39 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the two horizontal segments. Then the three vertical segments will be ...
(234 -2x)/3
The total enclosed area is the product of these dimensions:
A = (x)(234 -2x)/3
A = (2/3)(x)(117 -x)
This is the equation of a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=117. The maximum of the parabola will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros. The value of x there is ...
x = (0 +117)/2 = 58.5
The lengths of the vertical segments are ...
(2/3)(117 -58.5) = 2/3(58.5) = 39
The dimensions of the region enclosing the maximum area are 58.5 ft by 39 ft. The additional vertical segment is 39 ft.

<em>Comment on maximum area problems</em>
You may have noticed that the total length of the fence allocated to the long sides (2×58.5 = 117) is half the total length of fence and is equal to the total length of fence allocated to the short sides (3×39 = 117).
This relationship is true in all rectangular fencing problems where the area is being maximized for a given total fence length. It doesn't matter how many partitions there are in either direction: <em>the total of horizontal lengths is equal to the total of vertical lengths</em>.
Answer:
10X + 20 +5X +25 = 180
15x=180-45
X= 135/15
X=9
