Belinda is thinking about buying a house for $249,000. The table below shows the projected value of two different houses for three years:
2
3
Number of years 1
House 1 (value in dollars) 253,980 259,059.60 264,240.79
House 2 (value in dollars) 256,000 263,000 270,000
Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of each of the houses after a fixed number of
years? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Part B: Write one function for each house to describe the value of the house f(x), in dollars, after x years. (4 points)
Part C: Belinda wants to purchase a house that would have the greatest value in 45 years. Will there be any significant difference in the
value of either house after 45 years? Explain your answer, and show the value of each house after 45 years. (4 points)

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
