@mathstudent55 am icorrect here too
@mathstudent55
You are correct.
This question is a bit strange. Up to step 3, the problem is 100% correct. In step 4, decimals were written for the logs. Step 4 may or may not be a mistake depending on whether an exact answer or an approximation is asked for. Step 5 is definitely incorrect because the division of the decimals on the right side is incorrect. If there is no choice of Step 5, then step 4 has to be the error, but I don't agree with the question.
@jammy987 On the first question, the question asks the rate of "decay"each month, which is a hint that the decay is cumulative, which accumulates over a year to give a depreciation of 6%, or 0.94 of the previous year. Therefore we need to solve for k in (1-k)^12=(1-0.06) take the twelfth root on both sides, (1-k)=(0.94)^(1/12)=0.994857 k=1-0.994857=0.005143. Check: (1-0.005143)^12=0.940000=depreciation of 6%
