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.

Answer:

Given :

→x-y=12

→xy= 3²

=9

Equation formed:

{(x - y)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  - 2xy

Step by step explanation:

{(12)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  - 2 \times 9 \\  144   + 18 =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  \\  = 162

hope it helped you:)

2x+3y=19 // 6x+2y=22​
zvonat [6]

Answer:

(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 19 → (1)

6x + 2y = 22 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 6x - 9y = - 57 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 7y = - 35

- 7y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 3(5) = 19

2x + 15 = 19 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 5 )
