The value of John's baseball card collection decreases exponentially over time, and the value of his silver collection increases exponentially over time. If the value of John's two collections combined t years from now is given by the function V = 500(1.05)^2t + 600(0.95)^t, which statement must be true?

A) John's silver collection is more valuable currently than his baseball collection.

B) The value of John's silver collection changes at a faster rate than the value of John's baseball card collection.

C) John's baseball card collection decreases in value by 10% every six months.

D) The total value of the two collections remains constant over time.

correct answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of John's silver collection changes at a faster rate than the value of John's baseball card collection.

 V = 500(1.05)^2t + 600(0.95)^t

Because of 2t

Every 6 month, t = 2t

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
