A laptop computer is purchased for 2500 . After each year, the resale value decreases by 25% . What will the resale value be after 4 years?
Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest dollar.

the resale value would be $791 after 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the value of the laptop computer after x years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial value of the laptop computer.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

P = $2500

x = 4

r = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25

Therefore,

y = 2500(1 - 0.25)^4

y = 2500(0.75)^4

y = $791

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."

answer: 0.1,0.85
