A business uses straight-line depreciation to determine the value y of an automobile over a 5-year period. Suppose the original

value (when t=0) is equal to $14,500 and the salvage value (when t=5) is equal to $4,000.
a) By how much has the automobile depreciated over the 5 years?
b) By how much is the value of the automobile reduced at the end of each of the 5 years?
c) Write the linear equation that models the value s of this automobile at the end of year t.

For this problem. it is found that:

a) The automobile has depreciated 75% in 5 years.

b) The value of the automobile was reduced by $10,500 in five years.

c) The linear function is: s(t) = 14,500 - 2,100t.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = ax + b

In which:

  • a is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

From the problem, we have that:

a) The automobile has depreciated 75% in 5 years, as 4000/14500 = 0.25, and 100% - 25% = 75%.

b) The value of the automobile was reduced by $10,500 in five years, as 14500 - 4000 = $10,500.

For the linear function, we have that:

  • The initial value is b = 14500.
  • The slope is of a = -10500/5 = -2100.

Hence the linear function is: s(t) = 14,500 - 2,100t.

How does the position of the decimal point in a quotient as you divide by increasing powers of 10
Digiron [165]
The value decimal point is changing going to the right as you divide a number by 10. For example => 2000.3 / 10 notice the decimal point => 200.013, the value of decimal numbers increases as the value of whole number decreases.Let’s divide again => 200.013 / 10 => 20.0013 , now we already have 4 digits in our decimals. So, simply as we divide the given number by 10, the decimal point moves to the left making the value of whole number decreases and making the number of digits of decimal increase.
