Answer: y = 6280(0.87)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the office equipment depreciates at a rate of 13% each year, then the rate of depreciation is exponential.

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the value of the office equipment after t years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial value of the office equipment.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

y = $628

r = 13% = 13/100 = 0.13

Therefore, the equation that represents the value of the equipment after x years is

y = 6280(1 - 0.13)^x

y = 6280(0.87)^x

Find the 53rd term of the arithmetic sequence<br> 27,11, -5
vivado [14]

Answer:

The 53rd term of this arithmetic sequence is -805.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is the following:

a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d

In which d is the common diference between each term, that is, d = a_{3} - a_{2} = a_{2} - a_{1}.

To find the nth term of the sequence, this equation can be written as:

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d

27,11, -5

So a_{1} = 27, a_{2} - a_{1} = 11 - 27 = -16[/tex[tex]a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d

a_{53} = a_{1} + (52)d = 27 + 52*(-16) = -805

The 53rd term of this arithmetic sequence is -805.

Lucy earned $400 and $550 in interest the last 2 years. Describe the average interest she should earn in each of the next 3 year
Rzqust [24]
So she has 400 and 500 so far.

now if she were to have an average of 2300 for the next 5 years, that means some years she made more, some she made less, but in the 5 years run, she made 2300 * 5 or 11500 total.

Neverminding the lows and highs, if we bundle up the 11500 bucks and divide by 5, that'd 2300, which is what's called the average, the average amount doesn't take into account that some numbers are higher than others, it kinda just flattens them out.

so in total she would have made 11500 in each account.

so in the account with 400, she needs 11100 more, how much will it be 1100 for the next three years on average?  11100/3  or 3700.

so if she earns 3700 each year, for the next 3 years in the account with 400 already, she'd have 11500 bucks in 5 years with an average of 2300.

now let's look at the 500 account, she needs 11000 more, how much will it be for 11000 for the next three years on average?  11000/3 or about 3666.67.

so if she earns 3666.67 each year, for the next 3 years, she'd have 11500 bucks in 5 yeas with an average of 2300.
