Need help! Just want confirmation on what i think I have to do!
do as you may and then when done finalize it as you can and then rest
I think i just have to ad the numbers right? So 0.60m+0.25m=0.85m 18.95+4.90=23.85 c=0.85m+23.85
es, I did the math, and you are correct :)
*yes
thank you! One more question is that okay?
Yes :)
it's a different question saved in the same png
I think to find the price after 8 years I replace t with 8 and solve, I got $487
487.36 yes, rounded up to 487
yes that is right :)
it wants me to round to the nearest dollar so $487.
but how do I find the current price?
yes your still correct :)
I can see the substituting t for 1 is the price after 1 year, but I don't know how to get the current price
sub in 0 for t ?? Not 100% sure
the current price would be just to ignore the exponent 400 * 1.025
well.... 8 years from today means t = 8 so.. so today is year well... is not even a year, because that'd be 365 days later today's year is 0, thus t = 0
then the price would ... OH! 400! because anything with an exponent of 0 is automatically 1!
wait no @jdoe0001 is correct, my bad lol
and yep you got it!! @AJLYAMBER96
so $400 right? just what it says in the problem?
yeap well not quite anything, but close, I mean \(\Large 0^1 \ne 1\) =)
okay thanks!!! uhm.. Idk who to give the best response to?
I agree ^^ current is 400
whomever you want lol :)
Waaiiitt 1 moorreeee lol I pretty much knew what to do this entire test, just didn't want to get the answers wrong
ok :)
f(x)=(1/4) ^x x values are -2,-1,0,1,2 I literally just plug in right? First answer if plugging in -2 would be.... wait, okay so how would I multply this? because the exponent is a negative?
(-1/4)(-1/4)????
do you have answer choices?
no it's a graph
hmm, im not 100% sure but I would prolly end up doing this the way you are (-1/4)(-1/4) lol @e.mccormick
@alyssa_xo any ideas?
a^-x=1/a^x so \(\dfrac{1}{4}^-2=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{4}^2}=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{16}}=16\)
alternatively, rewrite 1/4 as 4^-1
I went to mathway sadly. It gave 16. I'm right because (1/4)(1/4) is 1/16, the negative sign 1/-16 make it a positive 16/1=16
lol well then.
