Depreciation Once a new car is driven away from the dealer, it begins to lose value. Each year, a car loses 10% of its value. This means that each year the value of a car is 90% of the previous year’s value. If a new car was purchased for $20,000, the value at the end of the first year would be $20000(0.90) and the value of the car after the end of the second year would be $20000(0.90)2. Complete the table shown below. What will be the value of the car at the end of the eighth year? Simplify the expression, to show the value in dollars.
Population Growth These exercises use the population growth model. 8. Bacteria Culture It is observed that a certain bacteria culturehas a relative growth rate or 12% hour. but in the presence of an antibiotic the relative growth rate is reduced to 5% per Hour.initialnumber of bacteria in the culture is 22. Population,n after 24 hours for following conditions. (a) No antibiotic is present, so the relative rate is 12%. (b) An antibiotic is present in the culture, so the relative growth rate is reduced to 5%.
