Cory has 15 die-cast cars in his collection. Each year his collection increases by 20%. Roger has 40 cars in his collection. Each year he collects 1 additional car.Part A: Write functions to represent Cory and Roger's collections throughout the years.
Part B: How many cars does Cory have after 6 years? How many does Roger have after the same number of years?
Part C: After approximately how many years is the number of cars that Cory and Roger have the same? Justify your answer mathematically.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Part A:
For Roger: y=x+40
For Cory: y=15 (1.2)^(x)
where y is the total  number of cars each boy collects over the year, x as the number of years passed.

Part B:
For Roger: 46
For Cory: 44.79~ 45 cars

Part C:
Here, we are trying to find the number of years (x) where Cory and Roger have the same number of cars.
By equating Roger and Cory's functions, we can solve for x
x+40=15 (1.2)^(x).
Since we cannot solve the value of x directly, we use trial and error to estimate the year.
When x=1
41 \neq 18 \n
When x=2
42 \neq 21.6
When x=3
43 \neq 25.92
When x=4
44 \neq 31.10
When x=5
45=/=37.3
When x=6
46=/=44.8
When x=7
47=/=53.7

The years that pass by before  Cory and Roger have nearly the same number of cars is 6.

Put the equation y=x²−14x+40 into the form y=(x-h)²+k y= ____

Answers

Answer:

y = (x - 7)² - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

(h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

given

y = x² - 14x + 40

to obtain vertex form use the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 14x

y = x² + 2(- 7)x + 49 - 49 + 40

 = (x - 7)² - 49 + 40

 = (x - 7)² - 9 ← in vertex form

Which expression can be used to find 40% of 130

Answers

this is how I do it :)


if it helps you any just translate 40% to .4 just do 40/100, there are two zeros in 100 so move the decimal of 40. over two places          40%=40/100=.4

130*.4=52 so therefore 52 is 40% of 130

130 x .4 = 52

52 is 40% of 130
