We know that
Applying the law of cosines: 

<span>c</span>²<span> = a</span>²<span> + b</span>²<span> - 2abcos(C) </span>
<span>where: </span>
<span>a,b and c are sides of the triangle and C is the angle opposite side c </span>

<span>that is </span>
<span>150</span>²<span> = 240</span>²<span> + 200</span>²<span> - 2(240)(200)cos(C) </span>

<span>solve for C </span>

<span>22,500 = 57,600 + 40,000 - 96,000cos(C) </span>
<span>22,500-57,600-40,000 = -96,000cos(C)

A car was purchased for $25,000. Research shows that the car has an average yearly depreciation rate of 18.5%. Create a function
vitfil [10]

Answer:

V(t) = 25000 * (0.815)^t

The depreciation from year 3 to year 4 was $2503.71

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model V(t) as an exponencial function:

V(t) = Vo * (1+r)^t

Where Vo is the inicial value of the car, r is the depreciation rate and t is the amount of years.

We have that Vo = 25000, r = -18.5% = -0.185, so:

V(t) = 25000 * (1-0.185)^t

V(t) = 25000 * (0.815)^t

In year 3, we have:

V(3) = 25000 * (0.815)^3 = 13533.58

In year 4, we have:

V(4) = 25000 * (0.815)^4 = 11029.87

The depreciation from year 3 to year 4 was:

V(3) - V(4) = 13533.58 - 11029.87 = $2503.71

An equation was created for the line of best fit from actual enrollment data. It was used to predict the dance studio enrollment
stealth61 [152]

Answer:  First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enrollment month   Actual   Predicted   Residual

January                   500           8                4

February                 400           15              -1

March                     550            15              -1

April                         13              12              -1

May                         16              17              -1

June                        14              15              -1

Since we know that

Residual value = Actual value - Predicted value

Sum of residuals is given by

4-1-1+1-1-1=1

since we can see that sum of residual is more than 0.

So, it can't be a good fit .

Hence, No, the equation is not a good fit because the sum of the residuals is a large number.

Therefore, First option is correct.
