The length of the KN is 4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know from Pythagoras theorem
In a right angle ΔLMN
Base² + perpendicular² = hypotenuse ²
From the properties of triangle we also know that altitudes are ⊥ on the sides they fall.
Hence ∠LKM = ∠NKM = 90 °
Given values-
LM=12
LK=10
Let KN be “s”
⇒LN= LK + KN
⇒LN= 10+x eq 1
Coming to the Δ LKM
⇒LK²+MK²= LM²
⇒MK²= 12²-10²
⇒MK²= 44 eq 2
Now in Δ MKN
⇒MK²+ KN²= MN²
⇒44+s²= MN² eq 3
In Δ LMN
⇒LM²+MN²= LN²
Using the values of MN² and LN² from the previous equations
⇒12² + 44+s²= (10+s) ²
⇒144+44+s²= 100+s²+20s
⇒188+s²= 100+s²+20s cancelling the common term “s²”
⇒20s= 188-100
∴ s= 4.4
Hence the value of KN is 4.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So the initial value of the business computer is $20,000. It depreciates by 15% per year. This is exponential decay. The standard function for exponential decay is:
Where <em>P </em>is the initial value, <em>r</em> is the rate of decay, and <em>t</em> is the time in years.
Since the computer decreases by 15% per year, this means that each year, the computer will be 1-15% or 85% than its previous value.
Therefore, the equation that models the value of the computer is:
