My TI-83 calculator was worth $75 after I owned it for 2 years. Since the new and improved TI-84 came out, the price of the calculator keeps going down. After 8 years, it is now worth only $10. Write an equation to model this situation and use it to predict when the calculator will be worth $2. Show all work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take approximately 13 years for the calculator to be $2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to set up a depreciation equation for the cost of the calculator per year.

Let the initial cost be I, the present value be P and the depreciation percentage be r%

Thus;

P = I( 1 - r%)^t

r% is same as r/100

For the two years initially;

75 =I( 1 - r/100)^2•••••••••(i)

For the 8 years, we have the equation as

10 = I(1 - r/100)^8 ••••••••(ii)

Now, simply divide the second equation by the first directly; we have;

10/75 = (1 - r/100)^8 / (1 - r/100)^2

2/15 = (1-r/100)^6

Take the log of both sides

ln(2/15) = ln(1-r/100)^6

ln(2/15) = 6 ln (1-r/100)

-2.015 = 6 ln (1 - r/100)

divide both sides by 6

-0.34 = ln (1-r/100)

1-r/100 = e^(-0.34)

1-r/100 = 0.715

Multiply through by 100

100 - r = 71.5

r = 100-71.5

r = 28.5%

Let’s now calculate the initial value;

P = I( 1 - r/100)^t

Let’s use the two years time frame

75 = I( 1 - 28.5/100)^2

75 = I(0.715)^2

I = 75/(0.715)^2

I = 146.71 which is approximately $147

Now, the time it will take for the calculator to be $2

P = I(1-r/100)^t

2 = 147 ( 1 - r/100)^t

divide both sides by 147

0.014 = (0.715)^t

ln 0.014 = ln (0.715)^t

t ln 0.715 = ln 0.014

t = ln 0.014/ln 0.715

t = 12.72

t is approximately 13 years

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so congruent means the same.

Using this knowledge, we can clearly see that the bottom pair are not congruent.

For the first pair, let compare the slopes and lengths of the line segments.

(If you have wax paper, you can trace A and see if it matches B)

GH <=> PQ    = 2 blocks

LG <=> UP    =  5/1 slope

KL <=> TU     = 2 blocks

JK <=> ST      = 1 block

IJ <=> RS        = 1/1 slope

HI <=> QR        =3 blocks

As you can see, all the corresponding side lengths/ slopes are the same.

This means the first pair are congruent.

Shawna and her best friend Keisha go shopping. The function p(x) = 3x4 + 2x3 − 4x2 + 21 represents how much money each girl spent based on the number of hours they were shopping. If Shawna and Keisha each go shopping for 2 hours, how much money did they spend together? $37 $69 $101 $138 Question 9(M

Answers

Answer:

$69

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of money each girl spent based on the number of hours they were shopping modeled by the function p(x) = 3x4 + 2x3 − 4x2 + 21

To get how much they spend together if each go shopping for 2hours, we will substitute x = 2 into the given function as shown:

p(2) = 3(2)⁴ + 2(2)³ − 4(2)² + 21

p(2) = 3(16) + 2(8) − 4(4) + 21

p(2) = 48 + 16 − 16 + 21

p(2) = 48+21

p(2) = 69

Therefore they spend $69 together

Answer: 138$

Step-by-step explanation: 69$ is how much 1 girl spends. They both spend 138%$. Also, I took the test.

help asappppp? i’m having trouble on wat the 1/4 point is

Answers

Answer:

  (-14, 5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the easiest way to find the 1/4 point is to find (x, y), then find the midpoint between that and M.

  (x, y) = 2M -(13, 25) = 2(-5, 12) -(13, 25) = (-23, -1)

Then the 1/4 point is ...

  ((-23, -1) +M)/2 = ((-23, -1) +(-5, 12))/2 = (-28, 11)/2 = (-14, 5.5)

_____

If we call the end points A(x, y) and B(13, 25), then we know ...

  M = (A+B)/2

  A = 2M -B . . . . we'll need this in a bit

and the 1/4 point Q is such that ...

  (Q -A)/(B -A) = 1/4

  4Q -4A = B -A . . . . cross multipliy

  Q = (B +3A)/4 = (B +3(2M -B))/4 = (6M -2B)/4 . . . . solve for Q

  Q = (3M -B)/2 . . . . reduce the fractions

  Q = (3(-5, 12) -(13, 25))/2 = (-28, 11)/2 = (-14, 5.5) . . . as above

Answer:

7. m<RST = 138°

8. m<MNP = 56°

9. m<WXZ = 130°

10. m<ABC = 118°

Step-by-step explanation:

7. m<RST = 138° (alternate exterior angles are congruent)

8. m<MNP = (a + 28)°

(a + 28)° = 2a° (alternate interior angles are congruent)

a + 28 = 2a

Collect like terms

28 = 2a - a

28 = a

m<MNP = (a + 28)°

Substitute a = 28

m<MNP = (28 + 28)° = 56°

9. m<WXZ = 5y°

5y = (2y + 78)° (alternate interior angles are congruent)

5y = 2y + 78

Collect like terms

5y - 2y = 78

3y = 78

Divide both sides by 3

y = 26

m<WXZ = 5y°

Plug in the value of y

m<WXZ = 5(26)

m<WXZ = 130°

10. m<ABC = (3n - 47)°

(3n - 47)° + (n + 7)° = 180° (same side interior angles are supplementary)

3n - 47 + n + 7 = 180

Collect like terms

4n - 40 = 180

Add 40 to both sides

4n = 180 + 40

4n = 220

Divide both sides by 4

4n/4 = 220/4

n = 55

m<ABC = (3n - 47)°

Plug in the value of n

m<ABC = 3(55) - 47 = 165 - 47

m<ABC = 118°

Mary owns a coffee shop. She charges $4.50 for a cup of coffee, and it costs her $1.25 to make each cup of coffee plus a $75 a day for other expenses. Write and solve an equation to determine how many cups of coffee, c, will Mary need to sell to break-even?

Step-by-step explanation:

Break even = Fixed cost/Selling price - variable cost

Fixed cost = $75

Selling price = $4.50

Variable cost = $1.25

Break even = $75/$4.50 - $1.25

= 23.076923077

Approximately = 23
