5. Daunte's favorite video game store is running a clearance sale. Every week until
everything is sold, the store's owner is going to reduce the price of the remaining
merchandise by 25%. Duante figures that he should wait 4 weeks to go to the
store because then the merchandise will be 100% off! Construct a mathematical
argument involving an exponential function to explain whether Daunte is correct
or incorrect.

Answers

Answer 1

Daunte is incorrect. After 4 weeks, the price would be 68.5 percent off.

Is Daunte correct?

An exponential function is a mathematical function that has the form : f(x) = a^x

Where:

a = constant x = variable

An exponential function indicates that the quantity is either increasing at a faster rate or reducing at a faster rate. This is true because an exponential increase or decrease is faster than a linear increase or decrease. In a linear increase or decrease, the function is either increasing or decreasing at a constant value.

The price of the video games would reduce by 25% of the previous weeks' price. Thus, the function that would represent this is an exponential function.

The form of the exponential equation would be:

Price after 4 weeks = Initial price x (1 - percentage decrease)^number of years

Let's assume that the initial price is 100

100 x (1 - 0.25)^4

100 x (0.75)^4 = 31.64

The total percentage decrease in the price of the good: (current price initial price) - 1

(31.64 / 100) - 1 = 0.684 = 68.4%

a. y = f(x)g(x)

Answers

The tangent line to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point

a)y=24x²+8x-2 at x=3.

b) y=(4x+2)/(6x-1) at x=3.

What is tangent?

The tangent line to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point

Given

f at x=3 is y= 4x+2

g at x=3 is y=6x-1

f(3)= 4x+2  and g(3)=6x-1

y=f(x)g(x)

at x=3,

Solution for a:

y=f(3)g(3)

=(4x+2)(6x-1)

=24x²-4x+12x-2

=24x²+8x-2

So y=24x²+8x-2 at x=3.

Solution for b:

y=f(3)/g(3)

=(4x+2)/(6x-1)

So y=(4x+2)/(6x-1) at x=3.

Therefore y=24x²+8x-2 at x=3 for y = f(x)g(x) and  y=(4x+2)/(6x-1) at x=3 for y = f(x)/g(x).

4m - t=m, for m
Solving for M

Answers

The solution of the given equation 4m - m - t = 0  for m is t/3.

According to the given question.

We have a linear equation in two variables i.e. 4m - t = m.

As we know that, an equation is said to be linear equation in two variables if it is written in the form of ax + by + c=0, where a, b & c are real numbers and the coefficients of x and y, i.e a and b respectively, are not equal to zero.

Since, we have to solve the given equation 4m - t = m for m. So, the solution of the equation 4m - t = m for m is given by

4m - t = m

⇒ 4m - m - t = 0   (subtracting m both the sides)

⇒ 3m - t = 0

⇒  3m = t   (adding t both the sides)

⇒ m = t/3.

Hence, the solution of the given equation 4m - m - t = 0  for m is t/3.

Let f(x) = x3 + 10, g(x) = x2 - 8, and h(x) = 5x + 4. Find the rule for the function.

Answers

The rule f ( x ) - g ( x ) is given as x^3 - x^2 + 18

Given data

f(x) = x3 + 10, g(x) = x2 - 8, and h(x) = 5x + 4

How to find f(x) - g(x)

f(x) - g(x) = ( x3 + 10 ) - ( x2 - 8 )

= ( x3 + 10 ) - ( x2 - 8 )

opening the parenthesis gives

= x3 + 10 - x2 + 8

collecting like terms gives

= x3 - x2 + 18

Hence we can say that f(x) - g(x) = x3 - x2 + 18

The measure of  angle m∠PZQ is 63degrees.

How to find an angle?

A point where two or more line segments meet is called a vertex.

The vertex point also forms an angle.

Therefore,

point P is in the interior of ∠OZQ,

Hence,

<OZQ = <OZP +  m∠PZQ

The following angles are given:

m∠OZQ = 125°

m∠OZP = 62°

Substitute the given values into the expression above:

125 = 62 +  m∠PZQ

m∠PZQ = 125 - 62

m∠PZQ = 63°

Amount of Amy's pocket money each day is 3 times as much as the pocket money of Flora's. And the amount of Paul's pocket money is $7 more than Amy's. If they have $980 of pocket money each week, how much pocket money does Paul have each day? ​

Answers

Answer:-

Paul has $64 pocket money each day.

Explanantion:-

Let amy ,flora and Paul 's pocket money be x,y and z respectively.

So,

By the question :

x = 3y

So, y = x/3 - eqn i

z = 7 + x - eqn ii

7(x + y + z) = 980

x + y + z = 140

Now,

x + y+ z = 140

x + x/3 + 7 + x = 140

or, 2x + x/3 = 133

or, 6x + x = 399

so, x = 399/7

so, x = $57

Now,

z = 7 + x

= 7 + $57

= $64

The area of a rectangular barn is 119 square feet. its length is 10 feet longer than the width. find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Answers

The length of the field with area 119 square feet is 17 feet and the width of the feet is 7 feet.

The area is the total region or space in two dimension that is covered by a figure , surface or object. Area of a rectangle is calculated by the product of its length and width.

A rectangle has 4 sides where each pair of  opposite side is equal .The length of a rectangle is normally the longer side and the width defines the shorter side.

Given the area of the barn is 119 square feet.

Let us consider the width of the barn to be x feet. As the length is 10 feet longer than the width then we will find the length to be ( x +10 ) feet.

Area = length × width

or, 119 = x × (x+10)

or, 119 = x² +10x

or, x² +10x - 119=0

Now we will solve the quadratic equation thus formed by middle term-factorization method:

or, x² +17x - 7x - 119 = 0

or, x ( x + 17 ) - 7 ( x + 17) = 0

or, ( x + 17 ) ( x - 7 ) = 0

Now either x + 17 = 0 or x - 7 =0

Therefore either x = 7  

or, x = -17 (The width cannot be a negative value)

Width = 7 feet and length = 7 + 10 = 17 feet.

Therefore the length of the field is 17 feet and the width of the feet is 7 feet.

The number of teachers that work in both schools is 97.

What is an addition?

The addition is a way of combining things and counting them together as one large group.

We have,

Number of teachers in Alberts Elementary school = 76

Number of teachers in Bothel Elementary school = 24

Number of teachers that work in both schools = 3

The number of teachers that work in both schools:

= 76 + 24 - 3

The future value of deposit today in 3 years means its future equivalent when the amount has earned interest over the 3 years period

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=future value after 3 years=unknown

PV=immediate deposit=3,000

r=annual interest rate=0.125%

N=number of years that the deposit lasted=3

FV=3000*(1+0.125%)^3

FV=P3,011.2640

Time taken to double:

FV=future value=3000*2=6000

PV=3000

r=annual interest rate=10.5%

N=number of years that it takes initial deposit to double=unknown

6000=3000*(1+10.5%)^N

6000/3000=(1.105)^N

ln(2)=N*ln(1.105)

N=ln(2)/ln(1.105)

N=6.9422 years

Annuity:

FV=PMT*(1+r)^N-1/r

FV=future value of annuity=unknown

PMT=annual payment=20000

r=interest rate=3%

N=number of annual payments=7

FV=20000*(1+3%)^7-1/7%

FV= 153,249.2436

FV=PMT*(1+r)^N-1/r*(1+r)

FV=20000*(1+3%)^7-1/7%*(1+7%)

FV= 157,846.7209

20,000,000=1,250,000*(1+r)^20

20,000,000/1,250,000=(1+r)^20
