Two different cars each depreciate to 60% of their respective original values. The first car depreciates at an annual rate of 10

The approximate difference in the ages of the two cars, which depreciate to 60% of their respective original values, is 1.7 years.

<h3>What is depreciation?</h3>

Depreciation is to decrease in the value of a product in a period of time. This can be given as,

$FV=P\left(1-\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^n$

Here, (<em>P</em>) is the price of the product, (<em>r</em>) is the rate of annual depreciation and (<em>n</em>) is the number of years.

Two different cars each depreciate to 60% of their respective original values. The first car depreciates at an annual rate of 10%.

Suppose the original price of the first car is x dollars. Thus, the depreciation price of the car is 0.6x. Let the number of year is $n_1$ . Thus, by the above formula for the first car,

$0.6x=x\left(1-\dfrac{10}{100}\right)^{n_1}\\0.6=(1-0.1)^{n_1}\\0.6=(0.9)^{n_1}$

Take log both the sides as,

$\log 0.6=\log (0.9)^{n_1}\\\log 0.6={n_1}\log (0.9)\\n_1=\dfrac{\log 0.6}{\log 0.9}\\n_1\approx4.85$

Now, the second car depreciates at an annual rate of 15%. Suppose the original price of the second car is y dollars.

Thus, the depreciation price of the car is 0.6y. Let the number of year is $n_2$ . Thus, by the above formula for the second car,

$0.6y=y\left(1-\dfrac{15}{100}\right)^{n_2}\\0.6=(1-0.15)^{n_2}\\0.6=(0.85)^{n_2}$

Take log both the sides as,

$\log 0.6=\log (0.85)^{n_2}\\\log 0.6={n_2}\log (0.85)\\n_2=\dfrac{\log 0.6}{\log 0.85}\\n_2\approx3.14$

The difference in the ages of the two cars is,

$d=4.85-3.14\\d=1.71\rm years$

Thus, the approximate difference in the ages of the two cars, which depreciate to 60% of their respective original values, is 1.7 years.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The answer is x=22 because you just have to add the two equations together and then solve for 8x+4=180

Kara and Steven are biking around a 1,800 kilometer path. They start biking from the same place, at the same time, and in the sa

levacccp [35]

It would take them 120 hours to get to the same point on the path again.

Kara is traveling at half the speed of Steven. Therefore, we Steven finishes his second lap Kara will just be finishing her first lap. They will both be at the starting lap again.

It will take Kara 120 hours to complete the lap.
1800 / 15 = 120

(That is a lot of time, do you have the numbers correct?)

You should do sport because it gives you a lot of exercise and makes your body healthy. Sports are important because it makes people happy and it shows from studies that oscillatory increases a lot from sports. Sports are fun and exciting and it boots blood flow to the brain.

I think kids playing sports are a great ideas because every kid needs some fun once and a while

X-1/x-2+x+3/x-4=2/(x-2).(4-x)

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The given equation x-1/x-2+x+3/x-4=2/(x-2).(4-x) is correct. the answer is proved.

According to the statement

we have given that the equation and we have to prove that the given answer is a correct answer for those equivalent equation.

So, The given expression are:

$\frac{x-1}{x-2} +\frac{x+3}{x-4} = \frac{2}{(x-2).(4-x)}$
