The value of a computer t years after purchase is v(t) = 1000 e - 0.25t. At what rate is the computer's value falling after 3 years? In 3 years the computer's value will be depreciating at the rate of approximately $ per year. (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)

The value of a computer t years after purchase is v(t) = 3000 e ^ -0.45t. At what rate is the computer's value falling after 5 years? In 5 years the computer's value will be depreciating at the rate of approximately $ per year. (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)

A computer, originally purchased for $2000, loses value according to the exponential function V = 2000(0.5)^(t/h), where V is the value in dollars of the computer at any time, t, in years after the purchase, and h represents the half-life in years of the value of the computer. After one year, the computer has a value of approximately $1516.
