Answer:
Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.
The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the price of a component has the following format:

In which P(t) is the price after t years, P(0) is the initial price, and r is the rate that the price decreases.
Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.
The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 15% per year.
This means that 
Component costs $60 today
So P(0) = 60. Then



What will it cost in three years?
This is P(3).


The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.
Answer:
33.912 in
Step-by-step explanation:
find the area of the circle first by: multiplying 1.5squared X 3.14= 7.065
the multiply it by the height (4.8) = 33.912
Let's resolve the powers of 10 to make them comparable
47000
45000
5000
280000
125000
Now you can see the largest is 280000 and the smallest is 5000
Their difference is 280000 - 5000 = 275000
