Answer:

t= 12.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

Where,

Value after t years= $5000

Initial value = $22,400

r= depreciation rate = 11%

t= length of time (years)

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

5000 = 22,400 ( 1 - 0.11)^t

5000 = 22,400(0.89)^t

Divide both sides by 22,400

(0.89)^t = 5000 / 22,400

(0.89)^t = 0.2232

Take the log of both sides

t log 0.89 = log 0.2232

t= log 0.2232 / log 0.89

= -0.6513 / -0.0506

= 12.87

t= 12.9 years

Which of the following steps were applied to ABCD to obtain A’B’C’D’?
devlian [24]

Answer:

c- shifted 3 units right and 4 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have a quadrilateral named as ABCD. Recall that a quadrilateral is a two-dimensional shape having four sides. So, we need to identify what transformation has been performed to get A'B'C'D', which is the same quadrilateral shifted certain units right and up. So take one point, say, B, so how do we need to do to obtain point B'? well, we need to move that point 3 units right and 4 units up, but how can we know this? just count the number of squares you need to move from B to B' horizontally and vertically, which is in fact  3 units right and 4 units up.

Terrence buys a new car for $20,000. The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year. If f(x) represents the value of the car
Lerok [7]

Answer

The function represents the car’s value after x years.

f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x

Reason

As given

Terrence buys a new car for $20,000.

The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year.

15 % is written in the decimal form

= \frac{15}{100}

= 0.15

Thus

The decrease in the value of car is represented by = a (1 - r)× t

Where a is the original cost

r is the depreciates rate in decimal form

t is time in years.

Here a = $20000 ,r = 0.15 , t = x years

The value of car after x years = 20,000 (1 -0.15)x

                                                 = 20000(0.85)x

Therefore the the value of the car after x years is represented by  f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x .

State the size of angle OAB, giving a reason for your answer
Alja [10]

Answer:

Angle OAB = 90°

Reason: tangent theorem of a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram given shows a tangent line of the given circle with center O. The tangent touches the circle at point A.

The diagram also shows the radius of the circle, OA, drawn from the center to the circle to meet at the point of tangency.

Thus, according to the Tangent Theorem of a circle, the point at which the radius drawn from the center meets the point of tangency = 90°. The tangent is perdendicular to the radius drawn to meet at the point of tangency.

Therefore, angle OAB = 90°
