The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Derek is studying the change in the price of two products, A and B, over time.

The price f(x), in dollars, of product A after x years is represented by the function below:

f(x) = 72(1.25)x

Part A: Is the price of product A increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Part B: The table below shows the price f(t), in dollars, of product B after t years:

t (number of years)
1 2 3 4
f(t) (price in dollars)
65 84.5 109.85 142.81

Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A)25% B)Product B

Step-by-step explanation:

A) To find whether product A price is increasing or decreasing, we will find the difference in price between year 0 and 1 year after.

When x = 0,

f(0)  [tex]72(1.25)^{0}\\= 72*1\\= 72[/tex]

when x = 1,

f(1) = [tex]72(1.25)^{1}\\= 72*1.25\\= 90[/tex]

From here we can already see the price is increasing.

% increase = (Difference in price / Original Price) * 100

= [tex]\frac{90-72}{72} *100\\=\frac{18}{72} *100\\=0.25*100\\=25percent[/tex]

Therefore the price is increasing by 25% per year.

B) Same concept as Part A, we will find the price difference between year 1 and 2.

% increase = (Difference in price / Original Price) * 100

[tex]\frac{84.5-65}{65} * 100\\= \frac{19.5}{65} * 100\\= 0.3*100\\= 30 percent[/tex]

Therefore we can see here Product B has a higher increase than Product A.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A

f(x) = 72 × 1.25 × x

so, the price is $90 after 1 year (72×1.25×1).

$180 after 2 years (72×1.25×2)

$270 after 3 years (72×1.25×3)

and so on.

or did you mean

f(x) = 72 × (1.25)^x

so, still, the price is $90 after 1 year (72×1.25^1).

$112.50 after 2 years (72×1.25^2).

$140.625 = $140.63 after 3 years (72×1.25^3)

that makes more sense. I will continue with that assumption.

so, the price is increasing, as every factor of the multiplication is positive and larger than 1. therefore, it only goes up.

and due to the formula, the price of every year is the price of the previous year multiplied by 1.25.

a multiplication by 1.25 is an increase of 25% (compared to a constant multiplication by 1).

so, the price increases every year by 25%.

B

year 1

price $65

year 2

price $84.50 difference $19.50

100% = 65

1% = 65/100 = 0.65

19.5/0.65 = 30% difference

year 3

price $109.85 difference $25.35

100% = 84.5

1% = 84.5/100 = 0.845

25.35/0.845 = 30% difference

year 4

price $142.81 difference $32.96

100% = 109.85

1% = 109.85/100 = 1.0985

32.96/1.0985 = 30% difference

so, product B has the greater percentage increase in the price (30% vs. 25%).

You need to invest $1000 in a bank account and are give two options. The first option is to earn $50 every month you leave the money in the account. The second one is to earn 3% interest each month. Describe each of these two functions and make a table of values for each for several months. Which account would you choose?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1

Earn $50 every month.

Let x = number of months the money is left in the accountLet y = the amount in the accountInitial amount = $1,000

[tex]\implies y = 50x + 1000[/tex]

This is a linear function.

Option 2

Earn 3% interest each month.

(Assuming the interest earned each month is compounding interest.)

Let x = number of months the money is left in the accountLet y = the amount in the accountInitial amount = $1,000

[tex]\implies y = 1000(1.03)^x[/tex]

This is an exponential function.

Table of values

[tex]\large \begin{array}{| c | l | l |}\cline{1-3} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\sf Account\:Balance} \\ \cline{1-3} & \sf Option\:1 & \sf Option\:2 \\\sf Month & \sf \$50\:per\:mth & \sf 3\%\:per\:mth \\\cline{1-3} 0 & \$1000 & \$1000 \\\cline{1-3} 1 & \$1050 & \$1030 \\\cline{1-3} 2 & \$1100 & \$1060.90 \\\cline{1-3} 3 & \$1150 & \$1092.73 \\\cline{1-3} 4 & \$1200 & \$1125.51 \\\cline{1-3} 5 & \$1250 & \$1159.27 \\\cline{1-3} 6 & \$1300 & \$1194.05 \\\cline{1-3} 7 & \$1350 & \$1229.87 \\\cline{1-3}\end{array}[/tex]

From the table of values, it appears that Account Option 1 is the best choice, as the accumulative growth of this account is higher than the other account option.

However, there will be a point in time when Account Option 2 starts accruing more than Account Option 2 each month.  To find this, graph the two functions and find the point of intersection.

From the attached graph, Account Option 1 accrues more until month 32.  From month 33, Account Option 2 accrues more in the account.

Conclusion

If the money is going to be invested for less than 33 months then Account Option 1 is the better choice.  However, if the money is going to be invested for 33 months or more, then Account Option 2 is the better choice.

Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle. What is the measure of one base angle?

Answers

Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is an isosceles right triangle. So, one angle is 90°

In an isosceles triangle, base angles are congruent.

Let the base angles be x ,x

x + x +90 = 180 {Angle sum property}

   2x + 90 = 180

          2x  = 180 - 90

          2x = 90

            x = 90/2

           x = 45

Base angle = 45°

An angle of depression is the angle formed by a horizontal line and a line of sight to a point below the line.

∠3 is an angle of elevation because it is formed by the line of sight that is above the horizontal line.

∠4 is an angle of depression because it is formed by the line of sight that is below the horizontal line.

∠5 is neither an angle of depression nor an angle of elevation because it is not formed by the horizontal line and the line of sight.

∠6  is an angle of elevation because it is formed by the line of sight that is above the horizontal line.

Therefore, the angle of depression is ∠4.

If f(x)=(4x-3) / 2 and g(x) =(2x+3) / 4, which of the following is true?

A f(g(x)) =1
B f(g (x)) = 0
C f(g(x))=-1
D f(g(x)) = x

Answers

Answer:

f(g(x))= x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(4x-3)/2

g(x) =(2x+3)/4

f(g(x)) means use the value obtained from g(x) in the equation defined by f(x).  Since g(x) =(2x+3)/4, we can substitute (2x+3)/4 in place of the x in f(x).

If f(x)=(4x-3)/2 then use the expression (2x+3)/4 in place of "x" in (4x-3)/2

f(x)  =    (4x-3)/2

g(x) =       (2x+3)/4

f(g(x))=(4((2x+3)/4)-3)/2

f(g(x))=(((8x+12)/4)-3)/2

f(g(x))= (2x+3-3)/2

f(g(x))= 2x/2

f(g(x))= x

Mary is planning a costume party. She spent $375.00 as shown on the graph. How much of the money was spent, to the nearest dollar, on the following items?

1) On decorations?

2) On food?

3) On party hall rental?

4) On prizes?

5) On invitations?

Answers

This one is extremely simple, and we can use the color coded pie chart to find the cost of each of the 5 things.

For the first, decorations, Mary spent $?? as shown by the blue triangle on the pie chart. Let’s get the other ones first to total the money left over.

For the second, she spent $65 on food, as shown by the green triangle on the pie chart.

For the third, she spent $80 on party hall rental, as shown by the blue triangle on the pie chart.

For the fourth, she spent $30 on prizes, as shown by the dark blue triangle.

And for the fifth one, she spent $45 on invitations. A bit too expensive if you ask me.

Then we add all the costs together, and get 220. After adding the extra costs such as candy, costumes, and music, we get a total of $345. We would subtract this from $375 to get a total of $30 left over, which was spent on decorations. The ??? value of the light blue triangle is $30.

Hope this helps!

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line that passes through the points (−6,9) and (7,−17)?

Answers

Answer: y - 17 = -2(x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

   = 9+17/-6-7

   = 26/-13

   = -2

y1 = -17

x1 = 7

y - 17 = -2(x-7)

The equation represents a line that is parallel to the line that passes through the points (−6,9) and (7,−17) is y =  -2x - 3

What is the general equation of a straight line?

The general equation of a straight line is-

y = mx + c

where, m is the gradient and is given by y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

and, c is the value where the line cuts y-axis.

Now it is given that the line passes through points (−6,9) and (7,−17)

Therefore we have,

x₁ = -6, y₁ = 9, x₂ = 7, y₂ = -17

So, the slope m of the line is given as,

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Put the values,

m = (-17 - 9)/(7 - (-6))

m = -26/7+6

m = -26/13

m = -2

Thus, the equation parallel to the line will be given as:

y - y₁ =  m(x - x₁)

y - 9 =  -2{x - (-6)}

y - 9 =  -2(x + 6)

y =  -2x - 12 + 9

y =  -2x - 3

Thus, the equation represents a line that is parallel to the line that passes through the points (−6,9) and (7,−17) is y =  -2x - 3

Let R be the region in the first quadrant enclosed by the graph y=(square root(6x+4)), the line y=2x, and the y-axis. . . .Set up but do not integrate an integral,expression in terms of a single variable for the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the y axis

Answers

The two boundary curves y = √(6x + 4) and y = 2x meet at

√(6x + 4) = 2x

6x + 4 = 4x²

2x² - 3x - 2 = 0

(x - 2) (2x + 1) = 0

⇒   x = -1/2 and x = 2

R is bounded to the left by the y-axis (x = 0), so R is the set

R = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 and 2x ≤ y ≤ √(6x + 4)}

Using the shell method, the volume is made up of cylindrical shells of radius x and height √(6x + 4) - 2x. So each shell of thickness ∆x contributes a volume of

2π (radius) (height) ∆x = 2π x (√(6x + 4) - 2x) ∆x
