Nathaniel purchased a new car in 1997 for $20,300. The value of the car has been depreciating exponentially at a constant rate.

If the value of the car was $2,700 in the year 2004, then what would be the predicted value of the car in the year 2007, to the nearest dollar?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the car after t years.

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial value of the car.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

A = $2700

P = $20300

n = 2004 - 1997 = 7 years

Therefore,

20300 = 2700(1 - r)^7

20300/2700 = (1 - r)^7

7.519 = (1 - r)^7

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

Log 7.519 = 7 log(1 - r)

0.876 = 7 log(1 - r)

Log (1 - r) = 0.876/7 = 0.125

Taking inverse log of both sides, it becomes

10^log1 - r = 10^0.125

1 - r = 1.33

r = 1.33 - 1 = 0.33

The expression would be

A = 20300(1 - 0.33)^t

A = 20300(0.67)^t

Therefore, in 2007,

t = 2007 - 1997 = 10 years

The value would be

A = 20300(0.67)^10

A = $370

Members of a school club are buying matching shirts. They know at least 25 members will get a shirt. Long-sleeved shirts are $10
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Maximum number of long sleeved shirt that can be purchase is, 8

and

Minimum number of long sleeved shirt that can be purchased is, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let y represents the number of short sleeves  and x represents the number of long sleeves.

As per the given condition:

Members of a school club are buying matching shirts. They know at least 25 members will get a shirt.

we have;

x+y\geq 25              or

y\geq 25 -x    ....[1]

Since, long sleeves shirt are $ 10 each and short sleeves shirt are $ 5 each.

then;

Total cost of long sleeves is 10x and

the total cost of short sleeves is 5y

Also; the club can spend no more than $ 165

then;

10x+5y\leq 165                  

 5y\leq 165 -10x or

y\leq 33-2x ......[2]

Solving the inequality equation with the graph :

Plot equation [1] and [2]; we get the maximum at point (8 , 17)

so, x= 8.

If we take minimum value of x =0 then y is between 25 and 33.

so, the solution area is between the lines to the left of where the lines intersect.

Therefore, the maximum number of long sleeved shirts can be purchased is 8 and the minimum number of long sleeved shirt can be purchased is 0
