A boat cost $16,500 and decreases in value by 13% per year how much will the boat be worth after eight years?

$5,415.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the boat = $16,500

Decrease in value per year = 13%

Worth of the boat in 8 years = ?

Remaining value = 100% - 13%

= 87%

Worth of the boat in 8 years = cost of the boat × remaining value^8

= $16,500 × 87%^8

= $16,500 × 87/100^8

= $16,500 × 0.87^8

= $16,500 × 0.3282116715437121

= $5,415.49

The worth of the boat after 8 years = $5,415.49

if he has no friends he cant give them out to his friends

step-by-step explanation:

no friends = cant give anything out

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
