A construction company buys a bulldozer for $26,000. The company expects the useful life of the machine to be 12 years, at which

time its value will have depreciated to $6000. The company uses the declining balances method for depreciation, so the annual depreciation rate r (in decimal form) is given by the formula r=1−(S/C)^1/n . In the formula, n is the useful life of the item (in years), S is the salvage value (in dollars), and C is the original cost (in dollars). What annual depreciation rate (in percent form) did the company use? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

  11.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic.

  r = 1 - (6000/26000)^(1/12) = 1 -(3/13)^(1/12) ≈ 1 -0.88498 ≈ 11.5%

The company used a depreciation rate of 11.5%.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Answer:

x=−1.27794

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x−5)2=x2−52

x3−10x2+25x=x2−52

Step 1: Subtract x^2-52 from both sides.

x3−10x2+25x−(x2−52)=x2−52−(x2−52)

x3−11x2+25x+52=0

Step 2: Use cubic formula.

x=−1.27794

Hope it helps +_+

The variable “x” can be defined as the price of regular gas.
The equation is x = x - (.02)7
x = x - (.02)7
(.02)7 = .14
x = x - .14
 X - X = nothing so it just leaves you with -.14
The answer is that the gas price changed by a total of - 14 cents or -0.14
