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.

B) The time, T (in minutes) taken for a stadium to empty varies directly as the number of spectators, S. And inversely as the nu
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the time (T) varies directly as the number of spectators (S) and varies inversely as number of open exits (E).

Hence:

T ∝ S; T ∝ 1 / E

Let k be the constant of proportionality. This gives:

T = kS / E

when T = 12 minutes, S = 20000, E = 20. Hence:

12 = k(20000) / 20

20000k = 240

k = 12 / 1000

This gives:

T = \frac{12}{1000}(\frac{S}{E} )

When  S = 36000, E = 24, we are to calculate the time (T):

T=\frac{12}{1000} (\frac{36000}{24} )=18\\

T = 18 minutes
