Answer:

Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.

The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the price of a component has the following format:

P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}

In which P(t) is the price after t years, P(0) is the initial price, and r is the rate that the price decreases.

Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.

The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 15​% per year.

This means that r = 0.15

Component costs ​$60 ​today

So P(0) = 60. Then

P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}

P(t) = 60(1-0.15)^{t}

P(t) = 60(0.85)^{t}

What will it cost in three​ years?

This is P(3).

P(t) = 60(0.85)^{t}

P(3) = 60(0.85)^{3} = 36.8475

The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!
adell [148]


The basic form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)2

(h,k) is the vertex


4(-0.5)(x-1.5) = (y-(-4))2
-2(x-1.5) = (y+4)2
-2(x-1.5) = y2 + 8y + 16
x - 1.5 = (-1/2)(y2 + 8y + 16)
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 8 + 1.5
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 6.5
