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
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
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.

Answer:

Seth and Karen are college students who take on different jobs for income. Seth needs $750 for expenses and savings each month; Karen needs $700.
Seth has a part-time job where he earns $7.50 per hour. He also mows lawns and earns $15 per lawn that he mows. His monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 7.50x + 15y = 750, where x is the number of hours Seth works and y is the number of lawns he mows.
Karen has a part-time job babysitting, where she earns $6 per hour. She also walks dogs and earns $4 per dog that she walks. Her monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.
Before you begin, decide with your partner who will work with Seth's information and who will work with Karen's information.
Working with the Equations
Work Separately
Each partner must change the equation that represents his or her chosen college student to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.
Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.
Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work, or you may use graphing technology.
Comparing Students
Work Together
Each partner now has an equation, function, and graph that represent the combinations of activities resulting in the income needed for each student. Compare these items and answer the following questions:
Which student, Seth or Karen, has the higher slope when the graphs of their earnings are compared? How can you tell?
Whose graph, Seth's or Karen's, has a greater y-intercept? What does that mean for this person?
If both students work 80 hours for the month, is the number of lawns Seth has to mow greater than or less than the number of dogs Karen has to walk? Justify your answer.
Karen begins charging $8 per hour for babysitting, and Seth begins earning $8 per hour. How does this change affect their graphs if everything else remains the same?
Answer:
Seth:
Equation 7.50x + 15y = 750, where x is the number of hours Seth works and y is the number of lawns he mows.
Karen:
Equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.
Part A: Converting it in function for by solving for y first.
Solving 7.50x + 15y = 750, equation we get
7.50x + 15y = 750
15y = -7.50x + 750
y = -1/2x + 50
Solving 6x + 4y = 700 for y, we get
6x + 4y = 700
4y = -6x + 700
y= -3/2x + 175.
On comaring with slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we got slope for Seth equation is -1/2 and slope for Karen is -3/2.
If we take absolute of those -1/2 and -3/2 we get 1/2 and 3/2.
Therefore, Karen has the higher slope. We can see the graph that blue line has greater slope as it's increasing/decreasing with greater rate.
In function form we could write equation as
f(x) = -1/2x + 50 and
f(x) = -3/2x + 175.
Part B : y-intercept of Karen equation is 175 and y-intercept of Seth equation is 50.
Therefore, Karen has greater y-intercept.
This means Karen earns $175 by just walking dogs.
Part C: If both students work 80 hours for the month.
Let us plug x =80 in each of the equations.
y = -1/2x + 50 => y = -1/2(80) + 50 = -40 +50 = $10.
Seth would earn $10 from mowing lawn.
Therefore, the number of lawns Seth has to mow = 10/15 = 0.67 that is approximately 1 lawn.
y = -3/2x + 175 => y = -3/2(80) + 175 = -120 +175 = $55.
Karen would earn $50 from walking dog.
So, the number of dogs Karne has to walk = 55/4 = 13.75 that ia approximately 14 dogs.
Therefore, the number of lawns Seth has to mow is less than the number of dogs Karen has to walk.
Part D: If Karen begins charging $8 per hour for babysitting and Seth begins earning $8 per hour.
The equations would become : 8x + 15y = 750, 8x + 4y = 700.
It would not effect the graph much. Even the y-intercepts would remain same.
There would be a slightly change in slopes.

9 oranges cost $3.60. How much are 4 oranges?
Answer:
$1.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation where you have the total oranges (o) on top and the cost (c) on the bottom. So you will have two fractions equaling each other. So you will have o/c=o/c. Now you just have to replace the variables with what you know. 9 oranges= $3.60, and you want to know how much 4 oranges cost. Since the cost per orange is the same, no matter how many oranges you buy if you divide the amount of oranges by the price you will always get the same number. So replace the variables with the numbers you know and you get,
9/$3.60=4/c
Now to solve an equal fraction problem, simply cross multiply (multiply the two numbers diagonal so 4 and 3.6), and divide (take the multiplied number and divide by the number remaining which will be the number diagonal from the variable) which gives you $1.60 for four oranges.

A truck moves 3 km in 30 min and and returns at same distance in 20 min find average speed
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the truck mover 3 km one way, 3 km back, so he moves 6 km
one way the truck needs 30 min, on the way back 20 min
so we have 6 km in 50 min
v=distance/time
v one way=3km/30 min=0.1 km/min
v on the way back=3 km/20min=0.15 km/min
v average =0.1+0.15=0.125 km/min
or 7.5 km/hour

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4.11) and is perpendicular to the line with the following equation? OA. y = -x + 14 O B. - r - 15 OD. & 1 + 8
Answer:
[tex]y = x +7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Point\ (x_1,y_1) = (4,11)[/tex]
Perpendicular to [tex]y = -x + 14[/tex]
Required
Determine the line equation
An equation has the form
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where
[tex]m = slope[/tex]
By comparison with [tex]y = -x + 14[/tex]
[tex]m = -1[/tex]
Because the line is perpendicular to [tex]y = -x + 14[/tex], the following relationship exists
[tex]m_1 = \frac{-1}{m}[/tex] i.e. the condition for perpendicularity
Where m1 is the slope of the equation that passes through [tex]Point\ (x_1,y_1) = (4,11)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m_1 = \frac{-1}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]m_1 = 1[/tex]
The line equation is then calculated using:
[tex]y - y_1 = m_1(x - x_1)[/tex]
Where
[tex]m_1 = 1[/tex]
[tex]Point\ (x_1,y_1) = (4,11)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y - 11 = 1(x - 4)[/tex]
[tex]y - 11 = x - 4[/tex]
Add 11 to both sides
[tex]y - 11+11 = x - 4+11[/tex]
[tex]y = x - 4+11[/tex]
[tex]y = x +7[/tex]

What is the polar form of (x + 3)2 + y2 = 9?
r = −6 cos(θ)
r = −3 cos(θ)
r = 3 cos(θ)
r = 6 cos(θ)
Given:
The equation of circle is
[tex](x+3)^2+y^2=9[/tex]
To find:
The polar form of given circle.
Solution:
We have,
[tex](x+3)^2+y^2=9[/tex]
[tex]x^2+2(x)(3)+(3)^2+y^2=9[/tex] [tex][\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2][/tex]
[tex](x^2+y^2)+6x+9=9[/tex]
Subtracting 9 from both sides, we get
[tex](x^2+y^2)+6x=0[/tex]
We know that, [tex]x^2+y^2=r^2[/tex] and [tex]x=r\cos \theta[/tex].
[tex]r^2+6(r\cos \theta)=0[/tex]
[tex]r(r+6\cos \theta)=0[/tex]
[tex]r=0[/tex] and [tex]r+6\cos \theta=0[/tex]
We know that, r is radius it cannot be 0. So,
[tex]r+6\cos \theta=0[/tex]
[tex]r=-6\cos \theta[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is A.
