A new car is purchased for 15700 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 7.5% per year. To the nearest year, how long will it be until the value of the car is 10100 dollars?

10100=15700(1-0.075)^x

10100=15700(0.925)^x

divide both sides by 15700

0.925^x=101/157

convert decimal

(37/40)^x=101/157

take the log

x= log 37/40 (101/157)

x= 5.65824

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

4.5%
