Answer:

4.62 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the car's value =>$24,000/2 = $12,000

The formula for exponential decrease =

y = a(1 - r)^t

y = Initial value = $24,000

a = Value after time t = $12,000

r = Decrease rate = 15% = 0.15

t = time in years =??

Hence,

24,000 = 12000 ( 1 - 0.15)^t

Divide both sides by 12000

24000/12000 = 12000 ( 0.85)^t/ 12000

2 = 0.85^t

We take the logarithm of both sides

log 2 = log (0.85)^t

log 2 = t log 0.85

Divide both sides by log 0.85

t = log 2/log 0.85

t = 4.62098120373 years

Approximately = 4.62 years

It would take 4.62 years to be worth half the initial price

Answer:

The reason why this may be happening is because the expenses may be higher than the amount of revenue that the business is making, the cost of rent, paying the employees and running the business may be higher than the revenue that is being made. The inflows may be higher than the outflows, in which case the profit is lower than the loss and may be the reason why the owner is having trouble keeping the business running.

The measure of the exterior angle of the triangle is what degree?
RSB [31]

Answer:

92°

Step-by-step explanation:

By exterior angle theorem:

(2x - 2) \degree = x \degree + 45 \degree \\  \\ (2x - 2 - x) \degree = 45 \degree \\  \\ (x - 2) \degree = 45 \degree \\  \\ (x - 2)  = 45 \\  \\ x = 45 + 2 \\  \\ x = 47 \\  \\ (2x - 2) \degree  = (2 \times 47 - 2)\degree  \\  \\ (2x - 2) \degree  = (94 - 2)\degree   \\  \\ (2x - 2) \degree  = 92\degree   \\  \\ measure  \: of  \: the  \: exterior \:  angle \\  = 92 \degree
