Belinda is thinking about buying a car for $38,000. The table below shows the projected value of two different cars for three ye

ars:
Number of years 1 2 3
Car 1 (value in dollars) 32,000 26,000 20,000
Car 2 (value in dollars) 32,300 27,455 23,336.75


Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of each of the cars after a fixed number of years? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Part B: Write one function for each car to describe the value of the car f(x), in dollars, after x years. (4 points)

Part C: Belinda wants to purchase a car that would have the greatest value in five years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of either car after five years? Explain your answer, and show the value of each car after five years. (4 points)

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Car A follows a linear pattern, as a straight well fitted line was obtained from the regression model, with a fixed amount as Depreciation per year.

CarB follows an exponential trve das obtained on the regression plot.

Using technology :

Where, f(x) = price of car

The linear function for car 1 :

f(x) = - 6000x + 38000

THE exponential function :

f(x) = 38000(0.85)^x

In 5 years :

Car 1:

f(5) = - 6000(5) + 38000 = 8000

Car 2 :

f(x) = 38000(0.85)^5 = 16,860.801

Hence, car 2 has the the greatest value after 5 years

Row 1:                      1     1

Row 2:                   1    2    1

Row 3:                 1    3    3     1

Row 4:               1   4   6     4     1

=========================================

Explanation:

This is known as Pascal's Triangle. Each value, other than the '1's, is found by adding the values directly above it. For instance, the '4' is the result of 1+3, and the 6 is a result of 3+3, and so on.

You can use the nCr combination formula to find the same values.

Alternatively you can expand out binomials of the form (x+y)^n, for integer values of n, and you'll find the coefficients of the terms match perfectly with Pascal's Triangle.

A bowl of flower seeds contains 5 petunia seeds and 15 begonia seeds. Riley calculated the probability that a random selected se
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Riley divided the number of petunia seeds by the number of begonia seeds, getting \frac {5}{15} = \frac {1}{3}. What you actually need to do to calculate the probability of selecting a petunia seed is divide the number of petunia seeds by the <em>total</em> number of seeds. 5 petunia seeds and 15 begonia seeds makes 20 total seeds, so you divide 5 petunia seeds by 20 total seeds to get \frac {5}{20} = \frac {1}{4}.

Nikita ran a 5-kilometer race in 39 minutes (0.65 of an hour) without training beforehand. In the first part of the race, her av
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
First part of the race

speed1, s1 = 8.75 km/h
distance1 = 5 km - x
time 1 = 0.65 h - t

Second part of the race

speed2, s2 = 6 km/h
distance2 = x
time2 = t

s2 = x/t = 6 ⇒ t = x / 6

s1 = [5 - x] / [0.65 - t] = 8.75

5 - x = 8.75 [0.65 - t]

5 -x = 8.75(0.65) - 8.75t

5 - x = 5.6875 - 8.75 (x/6)

5 - x = 5.6875 - 1.4583x

1.4583 x - x = 5.6875 - 5

0.4583 x = 0.6875

x = 0.6875 / 0.4583 = 1.5
