The boat will be worth $10,132.45 after 5 years.

Year 12% Value
0 $19,200
1 2,304 16,896
2 2,027.52 14,868.48
3 1,784.22 13,084.26
4 1,570.11 11,514.15
5 1,381.70 10,132.45

OR YOU CAN JUST DO IT LIKE THIS.

100% - 12% = 88% / 100% = 0.88

$19,200 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 * 0.88 = 10,132.4528

0.88 is multiplied 5 times to the original cost because 88% of the previous year's value will be the basis for the 12% decrease in value.

For the following exercises, evaluate the function at the indicated values:

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The evaluated function for the indicated values is given below.

The value of f(-3) is 20 .

The value of f(2) is 10 .

The value of f(-a) is $2|-3 a-1|$ .

The value of -f(a) is $-2|3 a-1|$ .

The value of f(a+h) is $2|3 a+3 h-1|$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A function $f(x)=2|3 x-1|$ is given.

It is required to evaluate the function at $f(-3) ; f(2) ; f(-a) ;-f(a) ; f(a+h)$ .

To evaluate the function, substitute the indicated values in the given function to determine the output values and simplify the expression.

Step 1 of 5

The given function is $f(x)=2|3 x-1|$ .

To evaluate the function at f(-3), substitute -3 in the given function $f(x)=2|3 x-1|$\\ $f(-3)=2|3(-3)-1|$\\ $f(-3)=2|-9-1|$\\ $f(-3)=2|-10|$\\ $f(-3)=2(10)$\\ $f(-3)=20$$

Step 2 of 5

To evaluate the function at $f(2)$, substitute 2 in the given function.

$f(x)=2|3 x-1|$\\ $f(2)=2|3(2)-1|$\\ $f(2)=2|6-1|$\\ $f(2)=2(5)$\\ $f(2)=10$$

Step 3 of 5

To evaluate the function at f(-a), substitute -a in the given function.

$\begin{aligned}&f(x)=2|3 x-1| \\&f(-a)=2|3(-a)-1| \\&f(-a)=2|-3 a-1|\end{aligned}$

Step 4 of 5

To evaluate the function at -f(a), substitute a in the given function.

$f(x)=2|3 x-1|$\\ $-f(a)=-2|3(a)-1|$\\ $-f(a)=-2|3 a-1|$$

Step 5 of 5

To evaluate the function at f(a+h), substitute a+h in the given function. $f(x)=2|3 x-1|$

$\begin{aligned}&f(a+h)=2|3(a+h)-1| \\&f(a+h)=2|3 a+3 h-1|\end{aligned}$

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. x^2 - 10x + 18 = 0

serious [3.7K]

Okay so basically, you subtract 18 on both sides since the 18 doesn't work, making the equation
x² - 10x = -18
So then you add (b/2)², which is 25, to both sides, to get
x² - 10x + 25 = 7
After this, you factor.
(x-5)(x-5) = 7
Then you simplify.
(x-5)² = 7
Then you solve for x.
√(x-5)² = √7
x-5 = (+ or -)√7

~ x= 5 (+ or -)√7 ~

Hope this helps!

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

nexus9112 [7]

Hello:
the equation is : y = ax+b
the slope is a : a×(-3/2) = -1......( perpendicular to a line with a slope of -3/2)
a = 2/3 y=(2/3)x+b
the line that passes through (-2, -2) : -2 = (2/3)(-2)+b
b = -2/3
 the equation is : y = (2/3)x-2/3
