- Depreciation Once a new car is driven away from the dealer, it begins to lose value. Each year, a car loses 10% of its value. This means that each year the value of a car is 90% of the previous year’s value. If a new car was purchased for $20,000, the value at the end of the first year would be $20000(0.90) and the value of the car after the end of the second year would be $20000(0.90)2. Complete the table shown below. What will be the value of the car at the end of the eighth year? Simplify the expression, to show the value in dollars.arrow_forward6. Tuition at American Private Universities The following table shows the average yearly tuition and required fees, in dollars, charged by four-year American private nonprofit universities in the school year ending in the given year. Date Average tuition 2012 27,870 2013 29,004 2014 30,138 2015 31,272 2016 32,406 a. Show that these data can be modeled by a linear function, and find its formula. b. Plot the data points and add the graph of the linear formula you found in part a. c. What prediction does this formula give for average tuition and fees at four-year American private nonprofit universities for the academic year ending in 2021?arrow_forwardBreaking Even The background for this exercise can be found in Exercises 15, 16, 17, and 18 in Section 1.4. A manufacturer of widgets has fixed costs of 700 per month, and the variable cost is 65 per thousand widgets so it costs 65 to produce 1 thousand widgets. Let N be the number, in thousands, of widgets produced in a month Find a formula for the manufacturers total cost C as a function of N. a. Find a formula for the manufacturers total cost C as a function of N. b. The highest price p, in dollars per thousand widgets, at which N can be sold is given by the formula p=750.02N. Using this, find a formula for the total revenue R as a function of N. c. Use your answers to parts a and b to find a formula for the profit p of this manufacturer as a function of N. d. Use your formula from part c to determine the two break-even points for this manufacturer Assume that the manufacturer can produce at most 500 thousand widgets in a month.arrow_forward
