1) a new truck that sells for $42,000 depreciates 11% each year. write a function that models the value of the truck. find the value of the truck after 8 years. round to the nearest dollar.

2) earl mows lawns one weekend. he earns $15 for each lawn that he mows. he spends $50 on gas and other supplies. what function equation represents earl's profit from mowing x lawns?

a)f(x)=50x-15
b)f(x)=50x+15
c)f(x)=15x-50
d)f(x)=15+50

3) find the common geometric series.
-2,-4,-8,-

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Depreciation

The formula for the value V of an asset after depreciation by an annual percentage rate is  

V = P(1 - r)ⁿ

where

P = present value

r = annual percentage rate

n = number of years

Data:

V = 40 000

r = 11 % = 0.11

n = 8 yr

Calculations:

(a) Function model

V= 40 000(1 - 0.11)ⁿ = 40 000(0.89)ⁿ

The function model is

(b) Future value

V = 40 000(0.89)ⁿ = 40 000 × 0.393 659 = $15 746

In eight years, the truck will be worth

2) Profit function

Income from 1 lawn = $15

  Income from x lawns =  15x

Less gas and supplies =         -50        

                 Net income = 15x – 50

The function is .

3) Geometric series

(a) Calculate the common ratio

a₁ = -2

a₂ = -4

a₃ = -8

a₄ = =16

The ratios of consecutive pairs are

a₄/a₃ = -16/(-8)  = 2

a₃/a₂ =   -8/(-4)  = 2

a₂/a₁ =   -4/(-2)  = 2

All adjacent pairs have the same common ratio r = 2.

(b) Write the formula for the series

The formula for the nth term of a geometric series is

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

If a₁ = -2, the formula for the series is

aₙ = -2(2)ⁿ⁻¹ = -2ⁿ

The formula for the series is .

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
