A business purchases a computer system for $5,300. The value of the system decreases at a rate of 12% per year. In how many year

s will the computer be less than $2200?​

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

If a system decreases by 12% it's the same as multiplying it by .12-1 or .88

This means we can create the following equation

computer value=5300(.88)^n

where n is the number of years

We can then plug in the value of the computer and solve for n

2200=5300(.88)^n

Divide by 5300 and get

.415=.88^n

Then put this into log form and get

\frac{log(.415)}{log.88}

Evaluate this into your calculator and get n=6.69 which I would probably just round to 7

You draw two cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing a club and then a diamond consecutively
otez555 [7]

Answer:

There are 13 cards for each suit so the first fraction is 13/52 and the next one is 13/51 as there is no replacement for the first card you pulled.

Multiplying them you get: 13/52*13/51= 169/2652,

Then you divide both sides by 13 to get: 13/204

So, the answer is C.

I hope this helps!

Hi there!

Since you said that you didn't want answers, I'll try my best to just explain things to you. However, if you'd like to work on problems, just let me know and I'd be happy to help you find answers.

SIMPLIFY THE SUM OR DIFFERENCE:
For these, what you can do is get all of the numbers to the same form. Such as simplifying the square root of 64 to 8. This will help you to be able to add or subtract things easily. The only time that you can subtract or add things is if whatever is under the square root is the same.

SIMPLIFY THE PRODUCT:
For these, you need to first multiply or distribute. You multiply both the numbers and the square roots. However, what is under the square root stays underneath the square root until you simplify it.

SIMPLIFY THE QUOTIENT:
These can be tricky sometimes. What you need to do is first, get the top and bottom as simplified as you can. Then, begin getting rid of the same things, as they cancel each other out. Once you've simplified as much as you can, make sure there isn't a square root in the denominator. There should never be one there! To get rid of it, multiply the top and bottom by whatever is under the square root on the bottom. For example, if I had 5/squareroot(10), then I would multiply the top and bottom by squareroot(10) to get rid of the square root in the denominator.

SIMPLIFY THE EXPRESSION:
To simplify the expression, most times all you need to do is distribute and possibly subtract or add (sometimes). The only time you can add or subtract square root is if (what is under the square root) is the same. If they are not the same, then you do not need to worry about further simplifying as there is nothing else that you can do.

Hope this helps!! :)
Message me anytime if there's anything else that I can help you with!
