Question

The value in dollars, v(x), of a certain car after x years is represented
by the equation v(x) = 25,000(0.86)^x. To the nearest dollar,
how much more is the car worth after 2 years than after 3 years?
(1) 2589 (3) 15,901
(2) 6510 (4) 18,490

Answer 1

After 2 years: x=2
v(2)= 25,000(0.86)^2= 18,490

After 3 years: x=3
v(3)= 25,000(0.86)^3= 15,901.4

18,490 - 15,901.4= 2,588.6

Rounded to the nearest dollar, the answer is (1) 2589 dollars.

Hope this helps~
