For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function.
<span>Tan(x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A) </span>
<span>x = 40 degrees </span>
<span>A = 30 ft </span>
<span>Solve for O </span>
<span>O= Tan (x) * A </span>
<span>O = Tan (40) * 30 </span>
<span>Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is .84) </span>
<span>O = .84 * 30 </span>
<span>O = 25.2 Ft</span>
I think all you need to do is rise/run, in this case, 2420÷6050=0.4=40%
This is an exponential growth/decay problem. It has a formula, and it doesn't matter which you have...the formula is the same for both, except for the fact that you're rate is decreasing instead of increasing so you will use a negative rate. The formula is this: A = Pe^rt, where A is the ending amount, P is the beginning amount, e is euler's number, r is the rate at which something is growing or dying, and t is the time in years. Our particular formula will look like this: A = 2280e^(-.30*3), Notice we have a negative number in for the rate (and of course it's expressed as a decimal!). First simplify the exponents: -.30*3 = -.9. On your calculator you have a 2nd button and a LN button. When you hit 2nd-->LN you have "e^( " on your display. Enter in -.9 and hit enter. That should give you a display of .4065695. Now multiply that by 2280 to get 926.98, the value of the computer after it depreciates for 3 years at a rate of 30% per year.
I need the full question and not just a graph to correctly answer this...0
