As per the problem,
Rhonda bought a new laptop for $800.
The laptop depreciates, or loses, 20% of its value each year.
The value of the laptop at a later time can be found using the formula
Here we have
P=$800
r=20%=0.20
t=2 years
Substitute the values in equation (1) we get
The laptop be worth in two years will be $512.
Answer:
6/5 or 1.2, they're the same value
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says "rate of change", it's really just asking for the slope. If you don't know what the slope is, essentially how much the y-value increases by whenever x increases by 1. This can be formally defined using the equation: which is essentially
. The subtraction is finding the difference between the two numbers to see how much it's changed by. Btw the order doesn't matter, I could plug in (-3, -2) as (x2, y2) or I could plug it in as (x1, y1) as long as I make sure to input it in correctly. In this example I'll just say (-3, -2) = (x1, y1) and (2, 4) = (x2, y2). Plugging these values into the equation gives you:
that's the rate of change
