The formula is
A=p (1-r)^t
A future value?
P present value 180
R rate of decreases 0.6
T time 2 years
A=180×(1−0.6)^(2)
A=180×(0.4)^(2)
A=28.8
-14.5
Basically, -(7.5+4) is -11.5 and then combine -3 with -11.5 which yields -14.5
12598 rounded to the nearest thousands is 1260
Its going to be .27ths of an inch for 1 minute.
Adding and subtracting with negative numbers
First, recognize that adding and subtracting are, from one viewpoint, the same thing. Subtracting a number is the same thing as adding the negative of that number. For example, 4 – 12 is the same as 4 + –12 (which, because the order of terms doesn't matter with addition, is the same as –12 + 4). With that in mind, here are the rules for adding with negative and positive numbers:
If both numbers are positive, then the answer is positive.
If both numbers are negative, then the answer is negative.
If the numbers have different signs, the answer takes the sign of the higher number.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive of that number. For example, 5 – –4 is the same as 5 + 4.
Multiplying and dividing with negative numbers if the numbers have different signs, the answer is negative.
