The resale value of a textbook decreases by 25% with each previous owner. A new textbook is sold for $85. Which function represents the resale value of the textbook after x owners?

f(x) = 85(1 – 0.25)x
f(x) = 85(1 + 0.25)x
f(x) = 85(0.25)x
f(x) = (85 – 0.25)x

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a)  f(x) = 85(1 – 0.25)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is -25%, so the growth factor is 1-25% = 1 - 0.25.

Each increase in the number of previous owners causes the value to be multiplied by this growth factor, so the overall multiplier is (1 -0.25)^x

The value is the initial value times this multiplier:

  f(x) = 85(1 -0.25)^x . . . . matches the first choice

Answer 2

The function that represents the situation is f(x) = 85 (1 - 0.25)ˣ

What is exponential decay?

An exponential function's curve is created by a pattern of data called exponential decay, which exhibits higher decreases over time.

The exponential decay function:

Aₙ = A₀(1-r)ˣ, where y = Final amount, A₀ = Initial amount, r = Rate of decay in decimal form, x = Time.

Let's call the resale value of the textbook after x owners as f(x). We know that the resale value decreases by 25% with each previous owner. This means that after the first owner, the resale value will be 75% of the original value.

After the second owner, it will be 75% of 75% (or 56.25%) of the original value.

Similarly, after the third owner, it will be 75% of 75% of 75% (or 42.1875%) of the original value, and so on.

Using this information, we can write the function f(x) as:

f(x) = 85 (0.75)ˣ

f(x) = 85(1 - 0.25)ˣ

where 85 is the original value of the textbook (when x = 0), and (0.75)ˣ represents the percentage of the original value after x owners.

Therefore, the function that represents the resale value of the textbook after x owners is described as f(x) = 85 (0.75)ˣ.

6. The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 74. Four years ago the
father's age was twice as old as his son. How old is the father now?​

Answers

Answer:

A (48)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the father's age = x and his son's age = y

according to the question,

the sum of their ages is 74

×+y=74......equation 1

four years ago (i.e x-4 & y-4) father's age was twice as old as his son

x-4=2(y-4)

or, x-4=2y-8

x-2y=-4.......equation 2

now, in equation 1

x+y=74

hence,

x=74-y

substituting the values in equation 2

x-2y=-4

(74-y)-2y=-4

74-y-2y=-4

74-3y=-4

74+4=3y

3y=78

y=78/3

y=26

Hence the kid is 26 years old

x+y=74

x+26=74

x=74-26

x=48

Hence the dad is 48 years old

Answer:

The correct answer is: Option A: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of father and y be the present age of son

Given that

"The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 74"

[tex]x+y = 74\ \ \ Eqn\ 1[/tex]

Now

x-4 will be the age of father 4 years ago

y-4 will be the age of son 4 years ago

The equation will be:

[tex]x-4 = 2(y-4)\\x-4 = 2y-8\\x-2y-4 =-8\\x-2y = -8+4\\x-2y = -4\ \ \ Eqn\ 2[/tex]

From equation 1:

[tex]x = 74-y[/tex]

Putting in equation 2

[tex]74-y-2y = -4\\74-3y = -4\\-3y = -4-74\\-3y = -78\\\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{-78}{-3}\\y = 26[/tex]

Put y = 26 in equation 1

[tex]x+26 = 74\\x = 74-26\\x = 48[/tex]

The father is 48 years old now.

Hence,

The correct answer is: Option A: 48

What is 345 divied by 189 remander2

Answers

Answer:

37

4 remander

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 5 on the left side and the dividend 189 on the right side like this:

           

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

Step 2:

The divisor (5) goes into the first digit of the dividend (1), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

       0    

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

       0    

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

      0    

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (1 - 0 = 1) and write the answer below.

       0    

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1    

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (8) like this:

       0    

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

Step 6:

The divisor (5) goes into the bottom number (18), 3 time(s). Therefore, put 3 on top:

       0 3  

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 3 = 15) and write that answer at the bottom:

       0 3  

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

       1 5  

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (18 - 15 = 3) and write the answer at the bottom.

       0 3  

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

     - 1 5  

         3  

Step 9:

Move down the last digit of the dividend (9) like this:

       0 3  

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

     - 1 5  

         3 9

Step 10:

The divisor (5) goes into the bottom number (39), 7 time(s). Therefore put 7 on top:

       0 3 7

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

     - 1 5  

         3 9

Step 11:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (5 x 7 = 35) and write the answer at the bottom:

       0 3 7

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

     - 1 5  

         3 9

         3 5

Step 12:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (39 - 35 = 4) and write the answer at the bottom.

       0 3 7

   5 ⟌ 1 8 9

     - 0    

       1 8  

     - 1 5  

         3 9

     -   3 5

           4

You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.

The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.

Therefore, the answer to 189 divided by 5 calculated using Long Division is:
