The approximate original price of the car is $23032
<h3>How to determine the original price?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Rate, r = 8%
Price at 4 years old = 16,500
An exponential function is represented as:
y = a(1 - r)^x
Where a represents the initial value
This gives
y = a(1 - 8%)^x
Evaluate
y = a(0.92)^x
At 4 years old, we have:
16500 = a(0.92)^4
Divide both sides by (0.92)^4
a = 23032
Hence, the approximate original price of the car is $23032

I'm sorry can you type it out? I can't see it very well
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
The locus of P

Express as fraction

Cross multiply

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

So, we have:


Take square of both sides
![4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%2A%20%5B%28x%20%2B1%29%5E2%20%2B%20%28y%20%2B2%29%5E2%5D%20%3D%20%28x%20-%202%29%5E2%20%2B%20%28y%20-%204%29%5E2)
Evaluate all squares
![4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%2A%20%5Bx%5E2%20%2B%202x%20%2B%201%20%2B%20y%5E2%20%2B4y%20%2B%204%5D%20%3D%20x%5E2%20-%204x%20%2B%204%20%2B%20y%5E2%20-%208y%20%2B%2016)
Collect and evaluate like terms
![4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%2A%20%5Bx%5E2%20%2B%202x%20%2B%20y%5E2%20%2B4y%20%2B%205%5D%20%3D%20x%5E2%20-%204x%20%2B%20y%5E2%20-%208y%20%2B%2020)

Divide through by 3

Answer:
r=56
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, r divided by 8 gives 7, if you do the inverse function(which is basically like the reverse of the question)
you can multiply 8 and 7 to find the r.
So 8 times 7 gives 56.
And to check you can do
which gives 7
You can tell me if my explanation is wrong. Thanks
