document.write( "Question 1183040: A piece of industrial machinery in the research and development lab of the company you work with, decreases in value every month after it was originally purchased for $96,852. An equation that models the value of machinery as a function of time (in months) is as follows: V(t)=(Vo)(0.26^t)
\n" ); document.write( "What percentage of the previous months value, remains each month? \n" ); document.write( "

the equation is v(t) = v(0) * .26 ^ t\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "based on this formula, i believe the remaining value each month will be 26% of the remaining value from the previous month.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's a graph showing the value at the end of each month.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as you can see, the value of the machine drops very quickly in the first month and slows dramatically after about 5 months.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the remaining value each succeeding month is 26% of the value in the previous month.\r
