- A car’s value varies inversely with its age. Elena bought a two-year-old car for $20,000. a. Write the equation of variation. b. What will be the value of Elena’s car when it is 5 years old?arrow_forwardThe resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardUse the function you found in the previous exercise to find the total area burned after 5 minutes.arrow_forward
- Explain how to find the input variable in a word problem that uses a linear function.arrow_forwardElectrical resistance The resistance of a wire varies directly as the length of the wire and inversely as the square of its diameter. A 1000-foot length of wire, 0.05 inch in diameter, has a resistance of 200 ohms. What would be the resistance of a 1500-foot length of wire that is 0.08 inch in diameter.arrow_forwardExplain how to interpret the initial value in a word problem that uses a linear function.arrow_forward
- A high school charters a bus for $560 to take a group of students to an observatory. When 8 more students join the trip, the cost per student decreases by $3.50. How many students were in the original group?arrow_forwardDaily crude oil production by Pemex, Mexico’s national oil company, for 2008-2013 could be approximated by P ( t ) = 0.017 t 2 − 0.4 t + 5.23 million barrels, where t is time in years since the start of 2000. What was the average rate of change of oil production from 2008 to 2012? Write a complete sentence and include appropriate units.arrow_forwardneed help with the rate of changearrow_forward
