Answer:

(A)Decay

(b)0.8

(c)First Term

(d)f(t)=2000(0.8)^t

(e)$819.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for modelling growth or decay is given as:

A(t)=A_o(1\pm r)^t,

Where:

Plus indicates growth and minus indicates decay.

A_o$ is the Initial Value\\r is the growth/decay rate\\t is the time period

For a powerful computer that was purchased for $2000, but loses 20% of its value each year.

(a)Since it loses value, it is a decay.

(b)Multiplier

Its value decays by 20%.

Therefore, our multiplier(1-r) =(1-20&)=1-0.2

Multiplier =0.8

(c)$2000 is our First term (or Initial Value A_o)

(d)The function for this problem is therefore:

f(t)=f_o(1- r)^t\\f(t)=2000(1- 0.2)^t\\\\f(t)=2000(0.8)^t

(e)Since we require the worth of the computer after 4 years,

t=4 years

f(4)=2000(0.8)^4\\f(4)=\$819.20

How to do geometry proofs for slow students?
Likurg_2 [28]
Knowing how to write two-column geometry proofs provides a solid basis for working with theorems. Practicing these strategies will help you write geometry proofs easily in no time:

Make a game plan. Try to figure out how to get from the givens to the prove conclusion with a plain English, commonsense argument before you worry about how to write the formal, two-column proof.


Look up how to do geometry proofs and the first thing that should pop up if your on google should be a site called dummies.com
