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%.

which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = b2 – 75? check all that apply. b = 5 square root of 3 b = -5 square root of
malfutka [58]
<span>The answers are b = 5 square root of 3; b = -5 square root of 3. f(b) = b^2 – 75. If f(b) = 0, then b^2 – 75 ) 0. b^2 = 75. b = √75. b = √(25 * 3). b = √25 * √3. b = √(5^2) * √3. Since √x is either -x or x, then √25 = √(5^2) is either -5 or 5. Therefore. b = -5√3 or b = 5√3.</span>
