This is an equation of exponential decay
y(t) = a b^ t where a is the initial amount
b is the decay factor
t is the time in years
b is found by taking 1 and subtracting the percent it decreases in decimal form
Letting t =4
y(t) = 260 million * ( 1- .011) ^ 4
=248.7473796 million
=24874737.96
Rounding to a whole number
= 24874738
Yeah cuz u could +1 to each side of the second equation to get rid of both the -1’s and that is equivalent to the first equation :)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
let ∠BCE = x then ∠ECD = 5x - 6 and
∠BCE + ∠ECD = ∠BCD, substitute values
x + 5x - 6 = 162, that is
6x - 6 = 162 ( add 6 to both sides )
6x = 168 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 28
Hence
∠BCE = x = 28°
∠ECD = 5x - 6 = (5 × 28) - 6 = 140 - 6 = 134°
