ciate $32,500 per year. 1. Find a linear function V(t) of the form V(t) = mt + b that models the value of the truck. V is the value of the truck and t is the number of years after the truck was bought. a. What is the slope of the function? Interpret what the slope means. b. What is the V intercept? Interpret what the V intercept means. c. Give the formula for the function. 2. Usethefunctiontofindthetintercept.Interpretwhatthetinterceptmeans. 3. Graphthefunction. 4.

Answer:

1. $V(t) = -32500t + 245000$

a. The slope of the function is m = -32500, and it means the change in the value of V(t) for each unitary change in the value of t.

b. The V-intercept is b = 245000, and it means the value of V(t) when t = 0, that is, the inicial value of V(t).

c. The formula is: $V(t) = -32500t + 245000$

2. t-intercept: $t = 7.5385$

The t-intercept means when the function V(t) will be zero, that is, the truck has no value anymore.

3. Graph in the image attached.

4. The domain is t = [0, 7.5385] and the range is V(t) = [245000, 0].

5. $V(8) = -15000$

It means the price the truck will have after 8 years. It does not make sense, because the truck can't have a negative price.

6. After 3.6 years.

7. Between 3.23 years and 5.63 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The inicial value is 245,000, and each year the value decreases 32,500, so we can write the equation:

$V(t) = -32500t + 245000$

a. The slope of the function is m = -32500, and it means the change in the value of V(t) for each unitary change in the value of t.

b. The V-intercept is b = 245000, and it means the value of V(t) when t = 0, that is, the inicial value of V(t).

c. The formula is: $V(t) = -32500t + 245000$

2.

To find the t-intercept we just need to use V(t) = 0 and then find the value of t:

$0 = -32500t + 245000$

$32500t = 245000$

$t = 7.5385$

The t-intercept means when the function V(t) will be zero, that is, the truck has no value anymore.

3.

The graph of the function is in the image attached.

4.

The domain is t = [0, 7.5385] and the range is V(t) = [245000, 0].

5.

$V(8) = -32500*8 + 245000 = -15000$

It means the price the truck will have after 8 years. It does not make sense, because the truck can't have a negative price.

6.

$128000 = -32500t + 245000$

$32500t = 117000$

$t = 3.6$

After 3.6 years.

7.

$62000 = -32500t + 245000$

$32500t = 183000$

$t = 5.6308$

$140000 = -32500t + 245000$

$32500t = 105000$

$t = 3.2308$

Between 3.23 years and 5.63 years.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit is a linear function that is closest to all the points and shows the trend in the data. Since the data is going up ultimately, the slope of the line will be positive. Only B and C are options.

To find the best fit, draw a line through the center of the most points. This line will have as its y-intercept a value around 12 and a gentle slope. This means the answer choice is C.

If sin ⁡x=7/25, and 0 < x < π/2, what is cos⁡(x−3π/2)?

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$Cos(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})=-\frac{7}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that $cos(x-y)=cos(x)cos(y)+sin(x)sin(y)$

Then,

$cos(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})=cos(x)cos(\frac{3\pi}{2})+sin(x)sin(\frac{3\pi}{2})\\$

But $cos(\frac{3\pi}{2})=0$ and $sin(x)=\frac{7}{25}$

Then

$cos(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})=cos(x)*0+\frac{7}{25}*sin(\frac{3\pi}{2})\\=\frac{7}{25}*(-1)=\frac{-7}{25}$

A bottle of water costs $1.50. Explain how you would make a graph of four ordered pairs to model the total cost of the water in

Vanyuwa [196]

Total cost = 1.50 per bottle
y = 1.50x
If x = 1, y = $ 1.50 (1,1.5)
If x = 2, y = $ 3.00 (2,3)
If x = 3, y = $ 4.50 (3, 4.5)
If x = 4, y = $ 6.00 (4, 6)
There are your 4 sets of ordered pairs to graph.
You could continue with more x-values to get more ordered pairs.

A bicycle rider increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds

valentina_108 [34]

To find the acceleration of the bicycle rider, we are going to use the acceleration formula: $a= \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$
where
$a$ is the acceleration
$v_{i}$ is the initial speed
$v_{f}$ is the final speed
$t$ is the time

We know from our problem that increases his speed from 5 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 seconds, so his initial speed is 5 m/s and his final speed is 15 m/s; therefore, $v_{i}=5$ , $v_{f}=15$ , and $t=10$ . Lets replace those values in our formula:
$a= \frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$
$a= \frac{15-5}{10}$
$a= \frac{10}{10}$
$a=1$

We can conclude that the acceleration of the bicycle rider 1 m/s^2
