Answer:

y = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t

After 7.40 years it will be worth less than 21500

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved using a compound interest function.

This function has the following formula:

y = P(1-n) ^ t

Where:

P is the initial price = $ 34,000

n is the depreciation rate = 0.06

t is the elapsed time

The equation that models this situation is:

y = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t

Now we want to know after how many years the car is worth less than $ 21500.

Then we do y = $ 21,500. and we clear t.

21500 = 34000(1-0.06) ^ t\\\\log(21500/34000) = tlog(1-0.06)\\\\t = \frac{log(21500/34000)}{log(1-0.06)}\\\\t = 7.40\ years.

After 7.40 years it will be worth less than 21500
