x = one angle
y = other angle
y = 15+x
complements add to 90 degrees
x+y = 90
substitute for y (15+x)
x + 15+x = 90
combine like terms
2x+ 15 = 90
subtract 15 from each side
2x = 75
divide each side by 2
x = 75/2
x = 37.5
y = x+15
y = 37.5 + 15
y =52.5
The two angles are 37.5 and 52.5
This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
<u>Answer:</u>
The amount lost over the 3 years s 2567.25£
<u>Explanation:</u>
where F = final value after n years
I = initial value of the car in 2017 = £18000 (given)
Since the value is depreciated 5% every year for 3 years,
r = percentage rate of depreciation = 5% (given)
n = 3 years
Substituting these values in formula, we get
=
= 15432.75£ which is the value of the car after 3 years
Finally 18000-15432.75 = 2567.25£ is the amount lost over this period.
The angle between w and u is approximately
