Answer:

Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.

The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the price of a component has the following format:

$P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}$

In which P(t) is the price after t years, P(0) is the initial price, and r is the rate that the price decreases.

Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.

The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 15% per year.

This means that $r = 0.15$

Component costs $60 today

So P(0) = 60. Then

$P(t) = P(0)(1-r)^{t}$

$P(t) = 60(1-0.15)^{t}$

$P(t) = 60(0.85)^{t}$

What will it cost in three years?

This is P(3).

$P(t) = 60(0.85)^{t}$

$P(3) = 60(0.85)^{3} = 36.8475$

The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.

Real life scenarios of acute angles are:

Sighting a ball from the top of a building at an angle of 55 degrees.
The angle between two adjacent vanes of a fan that has 6 vanes

<h3>What are acute angles?</h3>

As a general rule, an acute angle, x is represented as: x < 90

This means that acute angles are less than 90 degrees.

<h3>The real life scenarios</h3>

The real life scenarios that involve acute angles are scenarios that whose measure of angle is less than 90 degrees.

Sample of the real life scenarios that satisfy the above definition are:

Sighting a ball from the top of a building at an angle of 55 degrees.
The angle between two adjacent vanes of a fan that has 6 vanes
