Answer:

The cost in 3 years is $80.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of computer component is $110 today.

The cost is decreasing at a rate of 10% per year.

When it decreases by 10% per year then it is exponential.

Initial cost is $110. When it decreases 10% per year, the decay factor is 1-0.10 =0.90.

So, we could use the exponential formula y=ab^{x}

Where 'a' is initial cost and b is decay factor.

Our equation would by plug in 'a' as 110 and 'b' as 0.90.

We get

y= 110(0.9)^{x}

Now, to find the cost in 3 years, use x as 3.

y=110(0.9)^{3}

Which is simplified to

y=$80.19

lions [1.4K]
The answer would be C (P=T/2). This can be explained by examining the ratio. If you were to put in the answer of T = 12, then you would be looking for T/2 or 6, assuming we're giving them each half of the amount original held by grandmother.

The table below represents the displacement of a bird from its nest as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from nest
zubka84 [21]
Answer: See each part below.

Part A: The y-intercept is the first value, or 12. That means that they bird is 12 miles from its nest when the time started.

Part B: The average rate of change is the slope. From 1 to 3 hours, the bird went from 20 to 36 or 16 miles. 16 miles in 2 hours is the same as 8 miles in 1 hour.

Part C: To find the extent of the domain, write and solve the following equation for 172 miles.
172 = 8x + 12
160 = 8x 
20 = x

The domain will go up to 20 hours.
