Timothy purchased a computer for $1,000.

Answer:

This situation represents [a.) exponential decay

The rate of growth or decay, r, is equal to  c.) 0.2

So the value of the computer each year is g.) 80% of the value in the previous year.

It will take [i.) 3 years for the value of the computer to reach $512.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the value depreciates each year, it represents exponential decay.

The rate of growth or decay, r, is equal to

Depreciates 20%, so r = 0.2.

So the value of the computer each year is ... of the value in the previous year,

Depreciates 20%, so it is 100% - 20% = 80% of the value in the previous year.

It will take x years for the value of the computer to reach $512.

The value of the computer after x years is given by:

V(x) = V(0)(1-r)^x

In which V(0) is the initial value and r is the decay rate. So

V(x) = 1000(1-0.2)^x

V(x) = 1000(0.8)^x

We want to find x for which V(x) = 512. So

V(x) = 1000(0.8)^x

512 = 1000(0.8)^x

(0.8)^x = \frac{512}{1000}

(0.8)^x = (0.512)

Applying log to both sides:

\log{(0.8)^x} = \log{(0.512)}

x\log{0.8} = \log{(0.512)}

x = \frac{\log{0.512}}{\log{0.8}}

x = 3

So it will take 3 years.

A cable 19 m long runs from the top of a utility pole to a point on the ground 10 m from the base of the pole. How tall is the u
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

16.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture. The cable goes from the top of the pole to the ground (with the pole on the right in my drawing), and the point on the ground is 10 m away from the base of the pole. This forms a right triangle, with the right angle being between the 10 m distance and the pole itself. We can then apply the Pythagorean Theorem, so

a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle (the cable), getting us

10²+(length of pole)² = 19²

19²-10²=(length of pole)²

= 261

square root both sides to isolate the length of the pole

length of pole ≈ 16.2 m

PSYCHO15rus [73]
Perimeter= 2l+2w

126= 2l+2w
l=2w

Substitute the value for l
126= 2(2w)+2w
126= 4w+2w
126=6w
21=w

Plug the value for w in to find l
l=2(21)
l=42

Final answer: Length-42 ft, Width-21 ft
