Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is

Factor the denominator using difference of two squares.

Cancel out common factors;

We plug in 2 to get


To start, I had similar questions and I know that it takes 3 cones to fill a cylinder.
And as for the volumes:
V of a cylinder= V=π r<span>2 h (pi x radius squared x height)
Volume of a cone= V=</span><span>π r2 h/3 (pi x radius squared x height divided by 3)</span>
Year 1: 1,300 * 55% = 715 depreciation
1,300 - 715 = 585 book value
Year 2: 585 * 55% = 321.75 depreciation
585 - 321.75 = 263.25 book value
Year 3: 263.25 * 55% = 144.79 depreciation
263.25 - 144.79 = 118.46 book value
If the bike was bought 2 years ago, then its current value is $263.25.
Currently, it is the beginning of Year 3 but depreciation is computed at the end of the year.
