An equation for the depreciation of a car is given by y=A(1-r)t where y=current value of the car.A=original cost r=rate of depreciation and t=time in years. The value of a car is half what it originally cost. The rate of depreciation is 10%. Approximately how old is the car?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Approximately 6.58 years old

The more accurate value is 6.57881347896059, which you can round however you need. I picked two decimal places.

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

Explanation:

Let's pick a starting value of the car. It doesn't matter what the starting value, but it might help make the problem easier. Let's say A = 1000. Half of that is 1000/2 = 500.

So we want to find out how long it takes for the car's value to go from $1000 to $500 if it depreciates 10% per year.

The value of r is r = 0.10 as its the decimal form of 10%

t is the unknown number of years we want to solve for

---------------------------

y = A(1 - r)^t

500 = 1000(1 - 0.1)^t

500 = 1000(0.9)^t

1000(0.9)^t = 500

0.9^t = 500/1000

0.9^t = 0.5

log( 0.9^t ) = log( 0.5 )

t*log( 0.9 ) = log( 0.5 )

t = log( 0.5 )/log( 0.9 )

t = 6.57881347896059

Note the use of logs to help us isolate the exponent.

7 ÷ 3/4 = 9 1/3

Answer:

3/28 pounds or approximately 0.107 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the amount of cake that each of the 7 students would get, we simply need to split the 3/4th pounds of cake amongst the 7 students.

Simply write the equation as follows:

(3/4)/7 = 3/28

So each student would get 3/28 of a pound of cake which is approximately 0.107 pounds of cake.

Answers

Answer:

k = 4 ; N = 106

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of the one way ANOVA :

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SS - - - - df - - MS - - - - - F

Between groups - 1,959.79 - 3 - - 653.26 - 21.16*

Error - - - - - - - - - - 3,148.61 - -102 --30.86

Total - - - - - - - - - - 5,108.41 - 105

To obtain the value of 'k' which is the number of groups observed :

The degree of freedom between groups or degree of freedom of treatment (DFT) is obtained by the formula:

Number of observed groups(k) - 1

DFT = k - 1

From the ANOVA result ; degree of freedom between groups = 3

Hence,

3 = k - 1

k = 3 +1 = 4

Hence, number of observed groups = 4

To obtain N;

N is related to k and the degree of freedom Error (DFE)

DFE = N - k

From the ANOVA result, DFE = 102 and k = 4

102 = N - 4

102 + 4 = N

N = 106

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression r(theta) = 1/16v²sinθcosθ

According to double angle of trigonometry identity;

Sin2θ = sin(θ+θ)

Sin2θ = sinθcosθ + cosθsinθ

Sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ

sinθcosθ = sin2θ/2 ... **

Substituting equation ** into the question

1/16v²sinθcosθ = 1/16v²(sin2θ/2)

1/16v²sinθcosθ = 1/2×1/16v²(sin2θ)

1/16v²sinθcosθ = 1/32v²sin2θ

Find two positive numbers satisfying the given requirements. The sum of the first and twice the second is 400 and the product is a maximum.

Answers

Answer:

100 and 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be 'a' and the second number be 'b'. If the sum of the first and twice the second is 400 then;

a+2b = 400 ....

From the equation above, a = 400 - 2b ... 2

If the product of the numbers is a maximum then;

ab = (400-2b)b

let f(b) be the product of the function.

f(b) = (400-2b)b

f(b) = 400b-2b²

For the product to be at the maximum then f'(b) must be equal to zero i.e f'(b) = 0

f'(b)= 400-4b = 0

400-4b = 0

400 = 4b

b = 400/4

b = 100

Substituting b= 100 into the equation a = 400 - 2b to get a;

a = 400 - 2(100)

a = 400 - 200

a = 200

The two positive integers are 100 and 200.

Transform the given parametric equations into rectangular form. Then identify the conic. x= 5cos(t) y= 2sin(t)

Answers

Answer:

Solution : Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is isolate the cos(t) and sin(t) for both the equations --- ( 1 )

x = 5cos(t) ⇒ x / 5 = cos(t)

y = 2sin(t) ⇒ y / 2 = sin(t)

Let's square both equations now. Remember that cos²t + sin²t = 1. Therefore, we can now add both equations after squaring them --- ( 2 )

( x / 5 )² = cos²(t)

+ ( y / 2 )² = sin²(t)

Answers

Answer: Option B, 16/81

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 4 prisoners, they will roll a fair six side die and the product of the four rolls must NOT be a multiple of 3.

We know that every integer number can be "decomposed" into a product of prime numbers.

Then a number N,  that is divisible by 3, can be written as:

N = 3*k

Where k is another integer.

Here we will have a product of 4 numbers, each of them are in between 1 and 6.

Now, if only one of the prisoners rolls a 3, then the product of the rolls will always be a multiple of 3. And if one of the rolls is 6 the same will happen, because 6 = 3.2

Then the probability of surviving is when in none of the four rolls we have a 3 or a 6.

Then we must have a 1, 2, 4 or 5.

The probability of 4 outcomes out of 6, is:

P = 4/6.

But we have 4 rolls, so we have that probability four times, and the joint probability will be equal to the product of the probabiliities for each roll, then the probability of surviving is:

P = (4/6)^4 = (2/3)^4 = 16/81

An amusement park is open 7 days a week. The park has 8 ticket booths, and each booth has a ticket seller from 10am to 6pm. On average, ticket sellers work 30 hours per week. Write and equation that can be used to find "t", the minimum number of ticket sellers the park needs. show work if possible.

Answers

Answer:

t = (448 hrs/ week) / (30 hrs / week)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of times park opens in a week = 7

Number of ticket booth = 8

Opening hours = 10am - 6pm = 8 hours per day

Max working hours per ticket seller per week = 30 hours

Therefore each booth works for 8 hours per day,

Then ( 8 * 7) = 56 hours per week.

All 8 booths work for (56 * 8) = 448 hours per week

If Max working hours per ticket seller per week = 30 hours,

Then muninim number of workers required (t) :

Total working hours of all booth / maximum number of working hours per worker per week

t = (448 hrs/ week) / (30 hrs / week)

A car dealer recommends that transmissions be serviced at 30,000 miles. To see whether her customers are adhering to this recommendation, the dealer selects a random sample of 40 customers and finds that the average mileage of the automobiles serviced is 30,456. The standard deviation of the population is 1684 miles. By finding the P-­value, determine whether the owners are having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles. Use α = 0.10. Are the owners having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles?

Answers

Answer:

No, the owners are not having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a car dealer recommends that transmissions be serviced at 30,000 miles.

The car dealer selects a random sample of 40 customers and finds that the average mileage of the automobiles serviced is 30,456. The standard deviation of the population is 1684 miles.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = true average mileage of the automobiles serviced.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 30,000 miles      {means that the owners are having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 30,000 miles      {means that the owners are having their transmissions serviced at different than 30,000 miles}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test statistics because we know about population standard deviation;

                             T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~  N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average mileage serviced = 30,456 miles  

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 1684 miles

            n = sample of customers = 40

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{30,456-30,000}{\frac{1684}{\sqrt{40} } }[/tex]  

                                     =  1.71

The value of z-statistics is 1.71.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                    P-value = P(Z > 1.71) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.71)

                                  = 1 - 0.9564 = 0.0436

For the two-tailed test, the P-value is calculated as = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.0436 = 0.0872.

Since the P-value of our test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.0872 < 0.10, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the owners are having their transmissions serviced at different than 30,000 miles.

Justine and Meagan played a trivia game. Justine answered a question incorrectly and lost 7 points. Then Meagan answered correctly and got the opposite score. Which is the correct way to represent that “the opposite of Justine’s score was equal to Meagan’s score

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m = -j[/tex], or in this case, [tex]m=-(-7)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that Justine's score is represented by [tex]j[/tex] and Meagan's score is represented by [tex]m[/tex], we know that [tex]j[/tex] will always be the opposite of [tex]m[/tex].

To represent opposite, we put a negative sign before the variable.

This makes the current number, even if it's negative, the opposite value.

Let's test it out.

Since Justine's score is -7, substituting it into the equation makes it  [tex]m=-(-7)[/tex]. We know that two negatives make a positive, so [tex]m=7[/tex].

Now let's assume Justine's score is 7. Plugging it into the equation, we get [tex]m=-(7)[/tex]. That's the same thing as [tex]m = -1(7)[/tex], and -1 times 7 is -7.
