Mrs. Shaw needs to buy a used car. She found one (slightly damaged, can
only be seen after dark) being sold by Fast Eddie for $6300. The value of the
car will depreciate each year at a rate of 8% per year. Write an exponential
function to model the value of the car after X years. Find the value of the car
after 4 years. ****2 separate answers****

Respuesta :

The car has a starting value of $6300 and will depreciate by 8% of that original value per each ensuing year. This means that each year the value at the end of the year will be 92% of what it was when the year started. Thus we can write an exponential function for the value V(t) where t is the number of years after purchase, such that V(t) = 6300*(0.92^t). Substituting 4 years in for the value of t, we yield V(4) = 6300*(0.92^4) = $4513.

A
