Answer:

Approx. 11 ft.  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function is the easiest tool to use here.  tan 24 degrees = opp / adj = (5 ft) / x.  We are to find x.  Multiplying both sides of this equation by x, we get x * tan 24 degrees = 5 ft.  Thus, x = (5 ft) / (tan 24 degrees) = 11.23 ft, or approx. 11 ft.

A $20,000 business computer depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. Which of the following equations would model the value of the
elena-s [515]

Answer:

f(t)=20000(0.85)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

So the initial value of the business computer is $20,000. It depreciates by 15% per year. This is exponential decay. The standard function for exponential decay is:

f(t)=P(r)^t

Where <em>P </em>is the initial value, <em>r</em> is the rate of decay, and <em>t</em> is the time in years.

Since the computer decreases by 15% per year, this means that each year, the computer will be 1-15% or 85% than its previous value.

Therefore, the equation that models the value of the computer is:

f(t)=20000(0.85)^t

Hello there!
Goryan [66]

(x^2+3)^2 + 7x^2+21=-10

We want to convert this equation in terms of m, where m = x^2+3

While solving this problem, I instantly noticed the x^2+3 in the first term of the equation. Replace that with m.

m^2 + 7x^2+21=-10

Simplifying the rest is not as obvious. Using the distributive property, we can change [7x^2+21] to [7(x^2+3)]

Do you see the "m" in here? Look again if you don't.

Now we can simplify the equation to m^2 + 7m=-10 and this cannot be simplified further.

I'm always happy to help someone who appreciates the help! :D
