Tucker purchased $4,600 in new equipment for a catering business. He estimates that the value of the equipment is reduced by approximately 40% every two years. Tucker states that the function V(t)=4,600(0.4)2t could be used to represent the value of the equipment, V, in dollars, t, years after the purchase of the new equipment. Explain whether the function Tucker stated is correct, and, if not, determine the correct function that could be used to find the value of the equipment purchased.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
The function stated by Tucker is incorrect.
V(t) = 4600(0.8)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
V(t)=4,600(0.4)2t
The initial value of equipment = 4600
Decay rate = 40% of very 2 years
The value of equipment t years after purchase
The exponential decat function goes thus :
V(t) = Initial value * (1 - decay rate)^t
The Decay rate per year = 40% /2 = 20% = 0.2
V(t) = 4600(1 - 0.2)^t
V(t) = 4600(0.8)^t

[tex]\frac{38}{45}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{4}{10} +\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

So first you need to have a common denominator (the number on the bottom)

The least common denominator (LCD) would be 90.

So then the fractions would be: [tex]\frac{36}{90} +\frac{40}{90}[/tex].

Add.

You get: [tex]\frac{76}{90}[/tex]

Simplify and the answer is [tex]\frac{38}{45}[/tex]

Write the equation in standard form.
y+ 7= -3/2 (x+1)

Answers

Answer:

2y + 3x = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

standard form is Ax + By = C

first step is to distribute -3/2 among 'x' and then by 1 to get:

-3/2x - 3/2

you now have y + 7 = -3/2x - 3/2

we want to get the -3/2x term on the same side as 'y' and get 7 from the right side to the left side

we want to add 3/2x to the left side of the equation because it is being subtracted:

y + 3.2x + 7 = -3/2

now we want to subtract 7 to the right side because it is currently being added:

y + 3/2x = -7 3/2

we can convert -7 3/2 to be -17/2

we now can eliminate the denominator of 2 in the 'x' term by multiplying each term by 2 to get:

2(y + 3/2x) = -17/2(2)

distribute and simplify to get:

2y + 3x = -17

f(x) = x² + 2ax + a² - a
g(x) = 4 - x²

Let variable a be a real number. Find the range of values of a such that the equation f(x) = g(x) has two different solutions.

***The answer should be -2 < a < 4, but I don't know why.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 2ax + a² - a

g(x) = 4 - x²

f(x) = g(x)

x² + 2ax + a² - a = 4 - x²

2x²+2ax+a²-a -4 =0

the equation has two different solutions

=> (2a)² - 4(2)(a²-a-4) > 0

4a²-8a²+8a +32 >0

-4a²+8a+32 > 0

a²-2a-8 >0

(a-4)(a+2) < 0

the answer should be

-2 < a < 4

Answers

Answer:

X=1/174

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = -5/21

Step-by-step explanation:

The common denominator between all the terms in this equation is 30. Multiply everything by 30.

[x+1/6=3x/10]  * 30

30x + 5 = 9x   subtract 9x on both sides

21x+5 = 0  subtract 5 on both sides

21x = -5   divide 21 on both sides

x = -5/21

Eraph the line that represents the equation Y = -2/3x + 1
I need answer ASAP

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given in "slope-intercept" form.

  y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

__

For graphing, it is usually convenient to start with the y-intercept. The value of 'b' in your equation is +1, so the graph will go through the point y=1 on the y-axis. That point's coordinates are (0, 1).

The value of m represents the slope, or "rise"/"run" of the line. A slope of -2/3 means the line "rises" -2 units for each "run" of 3 units to the right. Then another point on the graph will be 3 units to the right of the y-axis, and 2 units down from y = 1. That point is (3, -1).

The line is drawn through these points you found on the graph.

Answer:

y=1/2x - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope formula to write an equation for this line. The point-slope formula states :

where m  is the slope and (x1   y1)  is a point the line passes through .

We can substitute the slope and values from the point to give:

(y-1) = 8 (x-7)

We can also transform this equation to the slope-intercept form by solving for  

y

. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b

where the m is the slope and b s the y-intercept value.

y-1= (8 times x) - ( 8 times 7)

y-1=   8x - 56

y-1 + 1= 8x- 56 + 1

y-0=  8x- 55

y= 8x - 55

2x - 2y+z=3
5y-z= -31
x+ 3y + 2z = -21

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]1) \: \: 2x - 2y + z = 3 \\ 2x = 3 + 2y - z \\ x = \frac{3 + 2y - z}{2} \\ \\ 2) \: \: \: not \: any \: \: \: x \: \: \: available \: \: \\ \\ 3) \: \: x + 3y + 2z = - 21 \\ x = - 21 - 3y - 2z[/tex]

Answer:

x= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

5y-z= -31, add z and 31 to both sides

5y+31 = z, substitute z in the other two given equations

2x - 2y+z=3

2x-2y +5y+31 = 3, combine like terms and subtract 31 from both sides

2x+3y = -28

x+ 3y + 2z = -21

x+3y +2(5y+31) = -21, distribute 2 over the addition parenthesis

x+3y +10y+62 = -21, combine like terms and subtract 62 from both sides

x+13y = -83

Now we have 2 equations  with 2 variables x and y to solve

2x+3y = -28

x+13y = -83

Because we need to find x then from the first equation we can write that

3y = -2x-28, subtract 2x from both sides and the divide both sides by 3

y = (-2x-28)/3, substitute this in the second equation

x + [13(-2x-28)/3] = -83 , distribute 13 . over the subtraction parenthesis

(3x/3)+[(-26x - 364) /3= -83, find the common denominator

3x+[(-26x - 364) = -83*3 , cross multiply

3x -26x = -249 +364, add 364 to both sides

- 23x = 115, divide both sides by (-23)

x= -5
