The cost of a High Definition television now averages $700, but the cost is decreasing about 15% per year. In how many years will the cost be under $200?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 7.7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The cost of HD TV is $700 and it is decreasing at the rate of 15% per year

After one year it becomes

[tex]\Rightarrow 700-700\times 15\%\\\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)[/tex]

after 2 year it becomes

[tex]\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)-700(1-0.15)\times 15\%\\\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)(1-0.15)\\\Rightarrow 700(1-0.15)^2[/tex]

Suppose, after x years it becomes $200

[tex]\Rightarrow 200=700(1-0.15)^x\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{7}=0.85^x\\\\\text{Taking log both sides}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\ln (\frac{2}{7})}{\ln (0.85)}\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.7\ \text{years}[/tex]

Thus, it takes 7.7 years for the cost to come under $200.

Kevin bought dvds of different movies he spent $5 for each movie the equation y=5 shows how much he spent for the movies

Answers

Answer:

The dependent variable is y (the amount paid)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 5x[/tex]

Where

[tex]x \to[/tex] number of movies

[tex]y \to[/tex] amount paid

Required

The dependent variable

From the question, we have:

[tex]y = 5x[/tex]

This means that the value of y is determined by the value of x.

Take for instance:

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

The value of y will be:

[tex]y =5*2 = 10[/tex]

If x changes (say; x = 12), y will also change

[tex]y =5*12 = 60[/tex]

Hence, y is the dependent variable

In ΔVWX, x = 160 cm, v = 150 cm and ∠W=77°. Find the length of w, to the nearest centimeter.

Answers

Answer:

The length of the third side is approximately 193.14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given dimensions of the sides of triangle ΔVWX are;

X = 160 cm

V = 150 cm

The measure of the included angle, m∠W = 77°

By cosine rule, we have;

w² = v² + x² - 2·v·x·cos(W)

∴ w² = 150² + 160² - 2 × 160 × 150 × cos(77°) ≈ 37,302.35

∴ The length of the third side, w = √37,302.35 ≈ 193.14

The length of the third side, w ≈ 193.14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis

The y intercepts is -2

We need to determine the slope, by using to points on the line

(0,-2) and (2,0)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (0 --2)/(2-0)

how can the position of a certain value in a given set of data be described and used in solving real-life problems?

Answers

Statisticians often talk about the position of a value, relative to other values in a set of data. The most common measures of position are percentiles, quartiles, and standard scores (aka, z-scores).

Percentiles
Assume that the elements in a data set are rank ordered from the smallest to the largest. The values that divide a rank-ordered set of elements into 100 equal parts are called percentiles.

An element having a percentile rank of Pi would have a greater value than i percent of all the elements in the set. Thus, the observation at the 50th percentile would be denoted P50, and it would be greater than 50 percent of the observations in the set. An observation at the 50th percentile would correspond to the median value in the set.

Quartiles
Quartiles divide a rank-ordered data set into four equal parts. The values that divide each part are called the first, second, and third quartiles; and they are denoted by Q1, Q2, and Q3, respectively. The chart below shows a set of four numbers divided into quartiles.

Eight numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Note the relationship between quartiles and percentiles. Q1 corresponds to P25, Q2 corresponds to P50, and Q3 corresponds to P75. Q2 is the median value in the set.

While measures of central tendency, dispersion, and skewness are used often in statistics, there are other methods of characterizing or describing data distributions or portions that are commonly used as well. We will examine several of these statistical measures, some of which you may already know or have seen elsewhere.


Standard Scores (z-Scores)
A standard score (aka, a z-score) indicates how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. A standard score can be calculated from the following formula.

z = (X - μ) / σ

where z is the z-score, X is the value of the element, μ is the mean of the population, and σ is the standard deviation.

Here is how to interpret z-scores.

A z-score less than 0 represents an element less than the mean.
A z-score greater than 0 represents an element greater than the mean.
A z-score equal to 0 represents an element equal to the mean.
A z-score equal to 1 represents an element that is 1 standard deviation greater than the mean; a z-score equal to 2, 2 standard deviations greater than the mean; etc.
A z-score equal to -1 represents an element that is 1 standard deviation less than the mean; a z-score equal to -2, 2 standard deviations less than the mean; etc.

3x+(−12)=−4x+2

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

3x−12+4x=−4x+2+4x

7x−12=2

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

7x−12+12=2+12

7x=14

A It is expected that $15\%$ to $25\%$ of all students will value movies the most.

B It is expected that $20\%$ to $30\%$ of all students will value books the most.

C In a group of $25$ students, it is expected that around $5$ students will value study areas the most.

D In a group of $100$ students, it is expected that around $6$ students will value classes the most.

Movies             20%

A - you could make an argument that this MAY be an accurate reflection but the percentage does not bring 15% into the data so this seems like conjecture.

B - Data suggest a higher support for books at 48%

C - Data suggest 1 or two in a group of 25 would answer study areas

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna sells apples and pears. If 20 apples and 60 pears re sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold. If 60 apples and 20 pears are sold every hour, there will be 400 pears when all the apples are sold. How many pears are there at the stall?

Answers

Answer:

There are 1,360 pears.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are P pears and A apples.

We know that:

"If 20 apples and 60 pears are sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold."

Suppose that all of these are sold after N hours, then:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

We also know that:

"if 60 apples and 20 pears are sold every hour, there will be 400 pears when all the apples are sold."

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

Then we have four equations:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

From the first one and the second one, we get:

20*N = A = 20*N = P - 400

A = P - 400

Now we have 3 equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

A = P - 400

Now we can just replace the third equation into the second one, then we get:

60*N = A = P - 400

Now we have two equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = P - 400

Now, remember that we want to find the number of pears, so we want to find the value of P.

To do it, we can take the quotient of the two equations, so we get:

(80*N)/(60*N) = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

8/6 = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

Now we can solve this for P

(8/6)*(P - 400) = P - 80

(8/6)*P - (8/6)*400 = P - 80

(8/6)*P - P = (8/6)*400 - 80

(2/6)*P = (8/6)*400 - 80

P = (6/2)*( (8/6)*400 - 80 )

P = 3*( (8/6)*400 - 80 ) = 1,360

There are 1,360 pears.
