Question 1199163
the home is purchased for 125000
the rate of increase in the value of your home is 1150 per year.
your formula is v(t) = 125000 + 1150 * t
t is the number of years you owned the home.


you want to know how many years before your home reaches 133050 in value.
this means that v(t) = 133050.
your equation becomes 133050 = 125000 + 1150 * t
subtract 125000 from both sides of the equation to get:
8050 = 1150 * t
divide both sides of the equation by 1150 to get:
8050 / 1150 = t
solve for t to get t = 7
your home will be equal to 133050 in value in 7 years.


the ordered pair (15,142250) on a graph in (x,y) format means that the value of the home will be 142250 in 15 years.
x represents the number of y4ears on the graph.
y represents the value of the home on the graph.


your graph would look like this.
