The following function represents the value of a car, in dollars, after x years:
f(x) = 24,000(0.92) to the power of x
what does 0.92 represent?
a. the present value of the car
b. the value of the car after x years
c. the decrease in the value of the car, which is 92%
d. the decrease in the value of the car, which is 8%

d

step-by-step explanation:

we all know that when you buy a new car, the second you drive it off the lot, it's not worth what it was before that.   this is because of depreciation.   that means that the worth of the car has decreased.   this value of .92 is the decimal equivalency of 92%, which represents the value of the car after t years.   if it still has 92% of its value, then it has lost 8%.   d is your answer.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
