Step-by-step explanation:

the sequence is arithmetic due to the common difference that is equal

d=11-15=7-11=-4

a(n) = a1 +(n-1)d

a1=15

Then :

a(n) = 15+(n-1)-4

hope this helps

What is<br> |-3+45-(-14)|+(-|-87+12/46|<br> simplified

USPshnik [31]

|x|=absoulte value of x which means whatever x is, make it positive
so first solve any division/multiplication

the only one is 12/46=6/23
so we do the absoulte value signs
-3+45-(-14)
-(-14)=+14
-3+45+14=56
absoulute value of 56=56

56+(-|-87+6/23|)
-87+6/23=-86 and 17/23
absoulte value of -86 and 17/23=86 and 17/23
there is a negative sign in front of the absoulte vaulue so make it negative
56-86 and 17/23=-30 and 17/23 or about -30.73913

A new motorboat costs $6000. The value of the boat decreases by 15% each year. What is the value of the boat after 3 years?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The value of the boat after 3 years is $\$3,684.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the depreciated value is equal to

$V=P(1-r)^{x}$

where

V is the depreciated value

P is the original value

r is the rate of depreciation in decimal

x is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$P=\$6,000\\r=15\%=15/100=0.15\\x=3\ years$

substitute

$V=6,000(1-0.15)^{3}$

$V=6,000(0.85)^{3}$

$V=\$3,684.75$
