The depreciating value of a semi-truck can be modeled by y = Ao(0.84)x, where y is the remaining value of the semi, x is the tim
e in years, and it depreciates at 16% per year. What is the value of the truck initially, Ao, and how would the graph change if the depreciation rate was 26% per year?
After one year the value Y=83,000×(0.84)=69,720 Y=83,000×(0.74)=61,420 When you compare the results you will see that the graph would fall at a faster rate to the right because the depreciation rate of 26% is higher than the depreciation rate of 16%
