A new game system was priced at $500 when it was introduced to the market. Over the next few years, the cost decreased by 7% each year. What was the cost of the gaming

system after two years?

FV= $436.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial cost (PV)= $500

Decrease rate (d)= 7% per year

Number of periods (n)= 2 years

To calculate the future value after 2 years, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV / (1 + d)^n

FV= 500 / (1.07^2)

FV= $436.72

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
