Why do vertices connected by a diagonal of a polygon have to be nonconsecutive?

Because consecutive vertices are already connected by the edges of the polygon.

Answer:

Basically, a segment which connects two consecutive vertices is not a diagonal, it's actually a side of a polygon.

So, in order to get a diagonal, you need to unit two nonconsecutive vertices, that way you won't get a side but a diagonal.

Actually, a diagonal of a polygon is defined as a segment which connects two nonconsecutive vertices.

Therefore, by definition, a diagonal must connect two nonconsecutive vertices.

Suppose a new car is worth $30,000. You can use the function y=30,000(0.85)^x to estimate the car’s value after x years. What is
ANEK [815]
The decay factor here is 0.85, and it means the car’s value changes by 85% every year, or goes down by 15% every year.



The formula for exponential decay is y = a(1 - b)^x

y is the final amount.

a is the initial amount, which is $30,000 in this case.

(1 - b) is the decay factor, or the number the original value gets multiplied by each year, which is 0.85 here.

b is the percent decrease in decimal form. In this case, we can find it using the formula (1 - b) = 0.85. We soon find that b = 0.15, or 15%.

x is the number of years.
