The trade-in values, in dollars, of the cell phones are modeled by the given functions, where x is the number of months that each person has owned the phone.

During the first four months, the trade-in value of Tonya's phone decreases at an average rate the trade-in value of Leo's phone.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is Tonya's phone had the greater initial trade-in value.

Leo's phone decreases at an average rate slower than the trade in value of Tonya's phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tonya

[tex]f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x[/tex]

Leo

[tex]x \to g(x)[/tex]

[tex]0 \to 480[/tex]

[tex]2 \to 360[/tex]

[tex]4 \to 470[/tex]

Solving (a): The phone with greater initial value

The initial value is when x = 0. So, we have:

[tex]f(x) = 490 * 0.88^x[/tex]

[tex]f(0) = 490 * 0.88^0[/tex]

[tex]f(0) = 490 * 1[/tex]

[tex]f(0) = 490[/tex]

From Leo's table

[tex]g(0) = 480[/tex]

By comparison;

[tex]f(0) > g(0)[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]490 > 480[/tex]

So: Tonya's had the greater initial trade-in value

Solving (b): The phone with lesser rate

An exponential function is:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

Where:

[tex]b \to rate[/tex]

For Tonya

[tex]b = 0.88[/tex]

For Leo, we have:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,480)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,360)[/tex]

So, the equation becomes:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]480 = ab^0[/tex] and [tex]360 = ab^2[/tex]

Solving [tex]480 = ab^0[/tex], we have:

[tex]480 = a * 1[/tex]

[tex]480 = a[/tex]

[tex]a= 480[/tex]

[tex]360 = ab^2[/tex] becomes

[tex]360 = 480 * b^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 480

[tex]0.75 = b^2[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]0.87 = b[/tex]

[tex]b=0.87[/tex] -- Leo's rate

By comparison; Leo's rate is slower i.e. 0.87 < 0.88

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (9, 12) and passes through the origin.

Answers

Answer:

(x-9)^2 +(y-12)^2 = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the length of the radius

If is the distance from the center to the point

d = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )

   = sqrt( (0-9)^2 + (0-12)^2)

   = sqrt ( 81+144)

  = sqrt(225)

  = 15

The equation for a circle is

( x-h) ^2+ (y-k)^2 = r^2

(x-9)^2 +(y-12)^2 = 15^2

(x-9)^2 +(y-12)^2 = 225

find the scale factor

Answers

Answer:

I think its 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 42 by 1.4 it makes 30 and if u multiply 30 by 1.4 it makes 42

Answer:

the scale factor is 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

42/30=

42/30=

then you find a common factor between the two is 6, so you divide both sides of the fraction by 6 to get 7/5. and because they both are the same you know that they both have the same scale factor. Which is 7/5. I am not quite sure if you need to find the missing side length but in case you do multiply 40 by 7/5 so it looks like 40/1 x 7/5. 40 x 7 = 280. 280/5 = 56. so your side length is 56.

The air in poultry-processing plants often contains fungus spores. Inadequate ventilation can affect the health of the workers. The problem is most serious during the summer. To measure the presence of spores, air samples are pumped to an agar plate and "colony-forming units (CFUs)" are counted after an incubation period. Here are data from two locations in a plant that processes 37,000 turkeys per day, taken on four days in the summer. The units are CFUs per cubic meter of air.

Answers

Answer:

B only

Step-by-step explanation:

well to solve this question we can consider factor theorem which states that if a Polynomial f(x) is divided by a monomial x-a then x-a is a factor of f(x) if and only if f(a)=0

and to figure "a " we can consider the following equation:

[tex] \displaystyle x - a = 0[/tex]

substitute the given value of a:

[tex] \displaystyle x - 2= 0[/tex]

therefore,

[tex] \displaystyle x = 2[/tex]

option-1:

plugin the value of x to the function A(x):

[tex] \displaystyle A(2) = {2}^{3} + {2}^{2} + 4[/tex]

simplify which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle A(2) = 16[/tex]

since A(2)≠0 x-2 is not a factor of A(x)

option-2:

similarly substitute the value of x to the function B(x) which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle B(2) = {2}^{3} - {2}^{} - 6[/tex]

simplify:

[tex] \displaystyle B(2) =0[/tex]

so, B(2)=0 Hence x-2 is a factor of x³-x-6

option-3:

substitute the value of x to the function C(x)

[tex] \displaystyle C(2) = {2}^{4} + 3.{2}^{} - 10[/tex]

simplify:

[tex] \displaystyle C(2) =12[/tex]

as C(2)≠0 x-2 is not a factor of C(x)

option-4:

likewise plugin the value of x to the function D(x):

[tex] \displaystyle D(2) = {2}^{4} - 2.{2}^{3} - 2[/tex]

simplify and that yields:

[tex] \displaystyle D(2) = - 2[/tex]

therefore,D(2)≠0 hence,x-2 isn't a factor of D(-2)

[tex]\boxed{\large{\bold{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{blue}{Answer}}}}}}:)}[/tex]

The factor

x-2=0x=2

we have find the value of x .

Now,

we have to select all the polynomial which has x-2 As a factor.

According to the question,

option A:-

[tex]A(x)=x^3+x^2+4\\\\A(2)=(2)^3+(2)^2+4\\\\=8+4+4\\\\16≠0[/tex]

so it is not a factor.

Option B:-

[tex]B(x)=x^3-x-6\\\\=B(2)=(2)^2-2-6\\\\0=0[/tex]

so it is a factor

Option C:-

[tex]C(x)=x^4+3x-10\\\\=C(2)=(2)^4+3(2)-10\\\\=16+6-10\\\\12≠0[/tex]

so it is not a factor

option D:-

[tex]D(x)=x^4-2x^3-2\\\\D(2)=(2)^4-2(2)^3-2\\\\=16-16-2\\\\-2≠0[/tex]

so it is not a factor

therefore:-

The option B is correct.
