A 0.74 million gallon per day (MGD) Induced Draft Packed Tower for air-stripping trihalomethanes from drinking water costs $58,890. Estimate the cost of a 2.0 MGD tower if the exponent in the cost-capacity equation is 0.57.

Ahospital purchases a $500,000 magnetic resonance imaging (mri) machine that has a useful life of 9 years. the salvage value at the end of 9 years is $77,000. (a) write a linear equation that describes the value y (in dollars) of the mri machine in terms of the time t (in years), 0 ≤ t ≤ 9. (b) find the value, in dollars, of the machine after 6 years. $ (c) find the time, in years, when the value of the equipment will be $140,000. (round your answer to two decimal places.) yr
