<h3>
Answer:</h3>
- B. f(x) = 3,000(0.85)^x
- $1566.02
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Part A
At the end of the year, the value of the computer system is ...
... (beginning value) - 15% · (beginning value) = (beginning value) · (1 - 0.15)
... = 0.85 · (beginning value)
Since the same is true for the next year and the next, the multiplier after x years will be 0.85^x. Then the value after x years is ...
... f(x) = (beginning value) · 0.85^x
The beginning value is given as $3000, so this is ...
... f(x) = 3000·0.85^x
____
Part B
For x=4, this is ...
... f(4) = 3000·0.85^4 = 3000·0.52200625 ≈ 1566.02
The value after 4 years is $1566.02.

Answer:
x=
28
/89
Step-by-step explanation:
3x(32)=7x+28
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
96x=7x+28
Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.
96x 7x+28
−7 −7
89x=28
Step 3: Divide both sides by 89.
89x
/89
=

Answer:
Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots
Step-by-step explanation:
Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is a factor of P(x). According to this definition:
(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.
Simplifying the brackets, we get:
(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.
This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a) which resulted in the wrong answer.
So, the polynomial would be:

Answer:
x ≈ 61.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Sine rule, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
5.8 × sinx = 6 × sin58° ( divide both sides by 5.8 )
sin x =
≈ 0.87729, thus
x =
(0.87729) ≈ 61.3
