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.

In the drawing below, line n is a transversal that intersects two parallel lines. What is the measure of Angle 4?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

140°

Step-by-step explanation:

<3 = 40 because they are vertical angles

<3 +<4 = 180 because they are same side interior angles

40 + <4 = 180

Subtract 40 from each side

40-40 + <4 = 180-40

<4 = 140
