(a) If y(t) is the mass after t days and y(0) = A then y(t) = Ae^{kt}.

y(1) = Ae^k = 0.945A \implies e^k = 0.945 \implies k = \ln 0.945

\text{Then } Ae^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \frac{1}{2}A\ \Leftrightarrow\ \ln e^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \ln \frac{1}{2}\ \Leftrightarrow\  ( \ln 0.945) t = \ln \frac{1}{2} \Leftrightarrow \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 12.25 \text{ years}

(b)
Ae^{(\ln 0.945) t} = 0.20 A \ \Leftrightarrow\ (\ln 0.945) t \ln \frac{1}{5}\ \implies \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 28.45\text{ years}

Ex 9-9 Straight-line depreciation ObJ. 2
NNADVOKAT [17]
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual)/Useful Life
Cost = $48,000
Residual = $9,000
Useful Life = 15 years

Depreciation = (48,000-9,000)/15
Depreciation = 39,000/15
Depreciation = $2,600

The refrigerator will depreciate at $2,600 a year.

Answer:

∠A= 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

if they are supplementary then put them equal to 180

7x + 3 +7x + 23 = 180

14x + 26 = 180

14x = 154

x= 11

now plug in

7(11)+3

77+3= 80
