- A car’s value varies inversely with its age. Elena bought a two-year-old car for $20,000. a. Write the equation of variation. b. What will be the value of Elena’s car when it is 5 years old?arrow_forwardSketch the graph of the equation. y = (1.075)* (a) Estimate y if x = 60. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) %3D y 3D (b) Estimate x if y = 6. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardIn July 2012, Alvarado Niles bought a house for $187,000. In September 2013, a nearby house with the same floor plan was sold for $206,000. (a) Develop a model that represents the value of the house. (Write your model in terms of t, where t is measured in months after July 2012. Round the coefficient of t to seven decimal places.) (b) Use the model to predict when the house will double its 2012 value. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (c) Use the model to determine the value of the house one year after Mr. Niles purchased it. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) (d) Use part (c) to determine the rate at which the value of the house grew per month. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)arrow_forward
- Please answer the first questionarrow_forwardThe equation y = 50(1.05) models the growth of a mule deer population introduced into Guadalupe National Park in December 2015. "X" represents the number of years after December 2015 while "y" represents the population at time "x". In what year will the mule deer population first reach 1500? 3 F 2084 G 2044 2043 2085arrow_forwardAn investment appreciates 2% per year. Originally $5000 is invested. What is an equation to model this where F is the value of the investment and t is the years that passes. OF = 5000(0.98)t F = 500(1.02)t OF = 5000(-0.02)t OF = 5000(0.02)tarrow_forward
- Ahmed is skiing down a steep hill. Ahmed’s elevation, E(t), in feet after t seconds is given by E(t)=3000-70t. Write a complete sentence describing Ahmed’s starting elevation and how it is changing over time.arrow_forwardWP1: One end of a Bungee is tied to a bridge that is 120 feet above water. The other end of the Bungee is tied via padded ankle straps to a jumper's ankle. The jumper jumps and the Bungee cord extends like a rubber band and the jumper bounces up and down until coming to a halt. The Bungee cord elongation 150% of its length, meaning that the Bungee cord extended length Will be its original length plus 1.5 times of its original length. Knowing that that the jumper's height is not more 7 feet, what should the original length of the Bungee cord be to assure that the jumper under any condition stays at least 10 feet above water? Solution: Let consider the following bridge of 120 height above water.arrow_forwardA hospital purchases a new magnetic resonance imaging MRI machine for $1.2 million.The depreciated value y reduced value after t years is given by y = 1,200,000 − 80,000t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 10.Sketch the graph of the equation.arrow_forward
