Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X = 1(1 - 0.02)ⁿ
X = 1(0.98)²⁰
X = 0.6676
67%
Using an exponential equation, it is found that 66.76% of the current amount will be present in 20 years.
A decaying exponential function has the following format:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t[/tex]
In which:
- A(t) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, breaks down at a rate of 2% a year, hence [tex]r = 0.02[/tex], and:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 - 0.02)^t[/tex]
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.98)^t[/tex]
The fraction after 20 years is A(20), hence:
[tex]A(20) = A(0)(0.98)^{20}[/tex]
[tex]A(20) = 0.6676[/tex]
66.76% of the current amount will be present in 20 years.
