Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

the sailboat depreciates at 15% of its original value each year ,it means that at the end of each year the sailboat value is 85% of the value at the beginning of the year,we can express that.

Value at the end of the year= value at the beginning of the year *85%

Value at the end of the year= value at the beginning of the year *85/100

Value at the end of the year= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Step 1

year 1

Value at the end of the year 1= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 1= $9500 *0.85

V=$8075,this value is the initial for the next year

Step 2

year 2

Value at the end of the year 2= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 2= 8075 *0.85

V=$6863.75,this value is the initial for the next year

Step 3

year 3

Value at the end of the year 3= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 3= $6863.75*0.85

V=$5834.18,this value is the initial for the next year

Step 4

year 4

Value at the end of the year 4= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 4= $5834.18*0.85

V=$4959.059,this value is the initial for the next year

Step 5

year 5

Value at the end of the year 5= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 5= $4959.059*0.85

V=$4215.20,this value is the initial for the next year

Step 6

year 6

Value at the end of the year 6= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 6= $4215.20*0.85

V=$3582.92,this value is the initial for the next year

Step 7

year 7

Value at the end of the year 7= value at the beginning of the year *0.85

Value at the end of the year 7= $3582.92*0.85

V=$3045.48,this is the value of the sailboat after seven years

Have a great day

If p(x) is the total value of the production when there are x workers in a plant, then the average productivity of the workforce at the plant is a(x) = p(x) x . (a) find a'(x). a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p'(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − xp(x) x2 why does the company want to hire more workers if a'(x) > 0? a'(x) > 0 ⇒ a(x) is ; that is, the average productivity as the size of the workforce increases. (b) if p'(x) is greater than the average productivity, which of the following must be true? p'(x) − xp(x) > 0 p'(x) − xp(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p'(x) > 0 xp'(x) − p(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p(x) > 0
