A new truck that sells for $29,000 depreciates (decreases in value) 12% each year. What is the decay factor, b? WILL MARK BRAINLIEST PLZ ANSWER ASAP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The decay factor is 0.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of an exponential decay function is

[tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]

Where, a is initial value and b is decay factor.

It is given a new truck that sells for $29,000 depreciates (decreases in value) 12% each year.

The initial value is $29,000 and decay factor is

[tex]1-r=1-\frac{12}{100}=1-0.12=0.88[/tex]

The exponential function is

[tex]f(x)=29000(0.88)^x[/tex]

Therefore the decay factor is 0.88.

Answer 2

The decay factor b for the truck, which depreciates 12% each year, is 0.88.

The decay factor, b, for the truck's depreciation can be calculated using the formula for exponential decay:

b = 1 - r

where r is the annual depreciation rate. In this case, the annual depreciation rate is given as 12%, or 0.12 in decimal form.

Now, let's calculate the decay factor:

b = 1 - 0.12

b = 0.88

So, the decay factor for the truck's depreciation is 0.88.

The decay factor is used to calculate the value of the truck after n years by raising b to the power of n and multiplying it by the initial value of the truck. The formula for the value of the truck after n years is:

[tex]\[ V(n) = P \cdot b^n \][/tex]

where P is the initial price of the truck, b is the decay factor, and n is the number of years.

In this case, the initial price P is $29,000, and the decay factor b is 0.88. If we want to find the value of the truck after, say, 5 years, we would use the formula:

[tex]\[ V(5) = 29000 \cdot (0.88)^5 \][/tex]

However, the question only asks for the decay factor, which we have already determined to be 0.88.

What is the fundamental principle of multiplication?

Multiplication is the mathematical operation that is used to determine the product of two or more numbers. If an event can occur in m different ways and a second event can occur in n different ways, then the two events in succession can occur in m × n different ways.

We need to find the unit fractions to convert 15 days into seconds.

1 day = 24 hour

1 hour = 60 minutes.

1 minutes = 60 seconds

Therefore, 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60  = 86400 seconds

There are 86400 seconds in one day.

Then 15 days = 15 x 86400 = 1,296,000

Write the equation of the function whose graph is shown.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=1(x-5)^2 + 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : from the graph vertex is (5,3)

Also graph passes through point (8,12)

We use vertex form of quadratic equation

General vertex form is

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2 + k[/tex]

vertex is (5,3)

h= 5 and k =3

So equation becomes [tex]y=a(x-5)^2 + 3[/tex]

Now we need to find out 'a'

We use (8,12) to find out 'a'

Plug in x=8 and y = 12

[tex]12=a(8-5)^2 + 3[/tex]

[tex]12=a(3)^2 + 3[/tex]

12= 9a + 3

subtract 3 on both sides

9 = 9a

divide both sides by 9

so a=1

Final equation is

[tex]y=1(x-5)^2 + 3[/tex]

An equation of the function of this graph is equal to [tex]y=1(x-5)^2 + 3[/tex]

Given the following data:

Points on the x and y-axis = (8, 12).Vertex (h, k)= (5, 3).

How to write a function.

The vertex form of a quadratic equation can be used to write an equation of the function of a graph.

Mathematically, the vertex form of a quadratic equation is given by this formula:

Normally, the first thing you do is establish the border line, by changing the > into an =. However, in all 4 answers, the line is the same, so that is not what the question is about. We need to know two things:

- do we need to be on the left or the right side of the line to find points that satisfy the equation?
- is the line itself included or not

To start with the second question, since y has to be greater than and not equal, the line itself is NOT included in the solution area. This means the correct answer has to have a dashed line.

The general way to know on which side of the line you have to be, is to fill in one easy point and see if the equation holds. Let's fill in (0,0), (but any point will do).

you get: 0 > 1 - 3*0, which is NOT true. So (0,0) is in an area that is not our solution. The top-right picture is therefore not the answer.

What remains is the bottom-right picture, that is the correct shaded area. All points in the shaded area satisfy the equation.

The width of a rectangle is 2m less than the length. the area is 48m squared. find the dimensions

Answers

Let the length = L
Then the width, W = L - 2

A = LW

48 = L(L - 2)

48 = L^2 - 2L

L^2 - 2L - 48 = 0

(L - 8)(L + 6) = 0

L - 8 = 0   or   L + 6 = -6

L = 8   or   L = -6

Since the length of a rectangle cannot be a negative number,
we discard the -6.

The length is 8m
The width is 2 m less than the length, so the width is 6 m.

The length of the rectangle is 8m and the width is 6m

This question involves the area of a rectangle and we can use the formula to solve this problem.

Data given;

A = 48m^2w = (L - 2)mArea

The area of a rectangle is given as

[tex]A = L * W[/tex]

l = lengthw = width

substitute the values and solve

[tex]A = lw\\48 = L * ( L - 2)\\48 = l^2 -2l\\l^2 -2l - 48 = 0[/tex]

solve this quadratic equation to find the length

a = 1, b = -2, c = -48

[tex]l = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\l = \frac{-(-2)+-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*(-48)} }{2*1} \\l = 8[/tex]

Taking only the positive value of l, l = 8

but we also know that

[tex]w = l -2\\w = 8 -2\\w= 6[/tex]

from the above, the length of the rectangle is 8m and the width is 6m

Carl, Brian, Dave, and Ashley want to attend the same university. Unfortunately only two spots remain and these four friends have the same GPA, as well as virtually identical community service and leadership experiences. Therefore, the two spots will be determined by their SAT and ACT scores. Carl scored 1,280 on the SAT, while Brian scored 1,325. Dave scored 28 on the ACT, while Ashley scored 30. Use z-scores to determine which two students should be admitted. The mean SAT score was 1,000 with a standard deviation of 175 and the mean ACT score was 20.6 with a standard deviation of 5.2 Both tests are normally distributed.

z = (x - μ)/σ

z = (1325 - 1000)/175

z = 1.9

Dave:

z = (28 - 20.6)/5.2

z = 1.42

Ashley:

z = (x - μ)/σ

z = (30 - 20.6)/5.2

z = 1.81

Using the z-scores for each student above, the following two students should be admitted into the university:

Determine whether 2y=3x-1 represents a direct variation. if it​ does, find the constant of variation.

Answers

Answer choices for this question? 

The equation 2y=3x-1 does not represent a direct variation in its strict definition, as it includes a y-intercept. If the y-intercept is ignored, the constant of variation would be k = 3/2.

The equation 2y=3x-1 represents a direct variation if it can be written in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation. To determine if this equation represents a direct variation, we can solve it for y:

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate y:
y = (3/2)x - 1/2.

Since we can express y as an equation of the form y = kx + b, with b being a constant, it does not represent a pure direct variation, as direct variation should have a form y = kx without the constant term.

However, if the question is interpreted to include such linear relationships as direct variations despite the y-intercept, then the constant of variation would be k = 3/2.

The m6 = (11x + 8)° and m7 = (12x – 4)° What is the measure of 4? m4 = 40° m4 = 48° m4 = 132° m4 = 140°

Answers

You first want to take note that m6 & m7 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are equal to each other, therefore m6 is equal to m7.

m6 = m7

It tells us what m6 and m7 are in the problem, so we can replace m6 with "11x + 10" and m7 with "12x - 4." From there, we can solve for x and find out what the angles are in degrees.

m6 = m7

Replace m6 and m7.

11x + 8 = 12x - 4

Subtract 11x from both sides.

11x + 8 - 11x = 12x - 4 - 11x

8 = x - 4

Add 4 to both sides.

8 + 4 = x - 4 + 4

12 = x

Now that we have x, we can find m6 and m7.

m6 = 11x + 8

m6 = 11(12) + 8

m6 = 132 + 8

m6 = 140

And for m7.

m7 = 12x - 4

m7 = 12(12) - 4

m7 = 144 - 4

m7 = 140

From here, we can find m8 because m8 and m6 together are a straight line. Straight lines have an angle of 180 degrees.

m6 + m8 = 180

Replace m6 with 140.

140 + m8 = 180

Subtract 140 from both sides.

140 + m8 - 140 = 180 - 140

m8 = 40

Now that we have m8, we can find m4.

Because of the properties of parallel lines and transversals, we know that

m1 = m5

m2 = m6

m3 = m7

m4 = m8

Since we know m8 = 40 and m4 = m8, we can replace m8 with 40 to get m4 = 40.

The measure of angle 4 is 40°. That is, m4 = 40°. The correct option is the first option m4 = 40°

From the diagram, we can observe that angles 6 and 7 are vertically opposite angles.

From one of the angle theorems, we have that vertically opposite angles are equal

That means,

measure of ∠ 6 = measure of ∠ 7

From the question,

we have that, m6 = (11x + 8)° and m7 = (12x – 4)°

Since, the measures of angles 6 and 7 are equal, then we can write that

(11x + 8)° = (12x – 4)°

Now, determine the value of x, we will solve the equation

11x + 8 = 12x – 4  

First, subtract 11x from both sides

11x - 11x + 8 = 12x - 11x - 4

8 = x - 4

Now, add 4 to both sides

8 + 4 = x -4 +4

12 = x

∴ x = 12

Now, we will determine the measure of ∠6

m ∠6 = (11x + 8)°

Put x = 12

∴ m ∠6 = (11(12) + 8)°

m ∠6 = (132 + 8)°

m ∠6 = 140°

To determine the measure of ∠4, m4, we will first determine the measure of ∠8.

From the diagram,

m ∠6 + m ∠8 = 180° (Sum of angles on a straight line)

∴ 140° + m ∠8 = 180°

Then,

m ∠8 = 180° - 140°

m ∠8 = 40°

From the diagram, we can observe that angles 4 and 8 are corresponding angles.

Also, from one of the angle theorems, we have that corresponding angles are equal.

Hence, the measure of ∠ 4 equals the measure of ∠ 8.

From above, m ∠8 = 40°

∴ m ∠4 = 40°

Hence, the measure of angle 4 is 40°. That is, m4 = 40°. The correct option is the first option m4 = 40°

Plugging them in, we get (7-(-3))/(1-(-4))=10/5=2 as the slope. Therefore, we can make the function y=mx+b and since m is the slope, we have y=2x+b. Plugging -4 in for x and -3 in for y, we get -3=2*(-4)+b=-8+b. Adding 8 to both sides, we get b=5, meaning that we have y=2x+5. However, we have to put it in the form ax+by=c. To do that, we can subtract 5 from both sides to get -5+y=2x. Next, we can subtract y from both sides to get -5=2x-y

suppose the correlation coefficient between the number of the college students in a city and the number of city buses is 0.89. which statement must be true?

Answers

As the number of college students increases, the number of buses tends to increase.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the correlation coefficient between the number of college students in a city and the number of city buses is 0.89.

We find that correlation coefficient is a measure of linear association between two variables.

When the absolute value of correlation coefficient is near 1, there is strong correlation. If correlation has a positive sign, there is a posiitive association between the two variables.

Here the correlation coefficient is positive and also near 1.  Thus there is a strong linear correlation between the two variables.

Or whenever there is an increase in one variable there will be an increase in other variable also.
