The resale value of a textbook decreases by 25% with each previous owner. A new textbook is sold for $85. Which function represents the resale value of the textbook after x owners?

f(x) = 85(1 – 0.25)x
f(x) = 85(1 + 0.25)x
f(x) = 85(0.25)x
f(x) = (85 – 0.25)x

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  f(x) = 85(1 – 0.25)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is -25%, so the growth factor is 1-25% = 1 - 0.25.

Each increase in the number of previous owners causes the value to be multiplied by this growth factor, so the overall multiplier is (1 -0.25)^x

The value is the initial value times this multiplier:

  f(x) = 85(1 -0.25)^x . . . . matches the first choice

Answer 2

The function that represents the situation is f(x) = 85 (1 - 0.25)ˣ

What is exponential decay?

An exponential function's curve is created by a pattern of data called exponential decay, which exhibits higher decreases over time.

The exponential decay function:

Aₙ = A₀(1-r)ˣ, where y = Final amount, A₀ = Initial amount, r = Rate of decay in decimal form, x = Time.

Let's call the resale value of the textbook after x owners as f(x). We know that the resale value decreases by 25% with each previous owner. This means that after the first owner, the resale value will be 75% of the original value.

After the second owner, it will be 75% of 75% (or 56.25%) of the original value.

Similarly, after the third owner, it will be 75% of 75% of 75% (or 42.1875%) of the original value, and so on.

Using this information, we can write the function f(x) as:

f(x) = 85 (0.75)ˣ

f(x) = 85(1 - 0.25)ˣ

where 85 is the original value of the textbook (when x = 0), and (0.75)ˣ represents the percentage of the original value after x owners.

Therefore, the function that represents the resale value of the textbook after x owners is described as f(x) = 85 (0.75)ˣ.

Can someone tell me which are non linear and which are linear for these three ? Ill give brainliest asap

Answers

Answer:

The y-value sequence on 1  linear. The x-value sequence on 1 is also linear.

The y- value sequence on 2 is linear. The x-value sequence on 2 is also linear.

The y-value sequence on 3 is linear. However I now think you are referring to the domain and range also linear graphs and non linear graphs, maybe I've confused you.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the difference between an exponential function and a linear function is whether it is arithmetic sequence or geometric sequence or just another sequence.

arithmetic is if the numbers are added by the common difference.

geometric is if the numbers are multiplied by the common ratio.                                                      

Jonathan is building a fence for his chickens. The length of a rectangle is
equal to triple the width. The perimeter(P=2L+2W) is 72 centimeters. What
is the width of the fence?

Step-by-step explanation:

(P=2L+2W) = 72

Find the equation of the line
PLEASE HELP

Answers

Y=-3x+7..................

Answer:

y = -3x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a line is: y = mx + b

m = slope

x = the x-value

y = the y-value

b = the y-intercept

Since the y-intercept is 7, we know the first part of the equation is: y = mx +7

Also, since the line is decreasing from right to left, m is going to be negative. A way to calculate the m is rise/run. Count how many blocks it is going horizontally (run)and how many blocks it is increasing/decreasing when going to the right (rise). Then divided the "rise" over "run". Another way is to choose two points. Now use the equation y1-y2/x1-x2,

or  y2-y1/x2-x1. I am going to show using the equation.

My two points are (0,7) and (2,1)

change in y (rise):7-1 = 6

change in x (run): 0-2 = -2

6/-2 = -3. Your slope is -3. Now lets put it all together.

y = -3x +7

You can see that for every square moved to the right ONCE the y value is decreasing by 3 each time.

What is the solution to this system of equations?

Answers

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations

1/4x + 1 1/2y =5/8 ..... 1

3/4x - 1 1/2y =3 3/8 ..... 2

Get the value of x

Add both equations

1/4x + 3/4x = 5/8+3 3/8

4x/4 = 5/8+27/8

x = 32/8

x= 4

Substitute x = 4 into equation 1

From 1;

1/4x + 1 1/2y =5/8 .

1/4(4) + 3/2 y = 5/8

1 + 3/2 y = 5/8

3/2 y = 5/8 - 1

3/2 y = -3/8

Cross multiply

24y = -6

y = -6/24

y = -1/4

Hence the solution {x,y) is (4, -1/4)

The system has only one solution

Noah is solving an equation, and one of his moves is unacceptable. Here are the moves he made.

Which answer best explains why the “divide each side by step” is unacceptable?

a. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by X you get 2x² = 6x²

b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

c. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by x you get 2 = 6x.

d. When you divide both sides of 2x = 6x by x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 3

Answers

Answer:

b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is correct up to the step 2x = 6x

2x = 6x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

0 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 0

You cannot divide both sides by x since x could be zero, and in fact, it is.

Answer: b. When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

The correct option is (b) When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

It is given that:

The linear equation is:

2(x + 6) - 4 = 8 + 6x

After simplifying the above linear equation in one variable:

2x = 6x

The correct steps are:

6x - 2x = 0

4x = 0

x = 0

When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

Thus, the statement best explains that “divide each side by step” is unacceptable" is When you divide both sides by 2x = 6x it could lead us to think that there is no solution while, in fact, the solution is x = 0.

6. The measures of two angles are (4x + 19) and (7x -29)°. What is the value of x if
these angles are congruent?

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two angles are:

(4x + 19) and (7x -29)°

Two angles being congruent means that their numerical values will be equal

Putting both expressions equal

[tex]4x+19 = 7x-29[/tex]

Subtracting 7x from both sides

[tex]4x+19-7x = 7x-29-7x\\-3x+19 = -29[/tex]

subtracting 19 from both sides

[tex]-3x+19-19 = -29-19\\-3x = -48[/tex]

Dividing both sides by -3

[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{-48}{-3}\\x = 16[/tex]

Hence,

The value of x is 16

Answers

Answer:

Yes, store's profit is proportional to number of customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the profit is proportional to the number of customers.

Profit = Revenue - Cost = (Price x Quantity) -  Cost

Profit = (0 x 20) + (3 x q) - c(20+q) : Where q refers to quantity beyond 20, & c is average cost per unit

Profit = 3q - 20c - cq = (3 - c)q + 20c
