Riley buys office equipment with a total price of $6,280 for her new company. If the office equipment depreciates at a rate of 13% each
year, which equation represents the value of the equipment after x years?

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

f(x) is going down by 4

step-by-step explanation:

(its either that or its going left by 4)

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
