<h3>
Answer:</h3>
<em>None of the above</em>. All the answers refer to <em>price</em>. The given equation refers to <em>value</em>. We imagine price may stay the same or actually increase year-to-year. The problem statement gives insufficient information to conclude anything about <em>price</em>.
Math is about attention to detail. The equation tells you ...
... The <em>value</em> of the boat decreases by 12% every year.
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The value of the boat is multiplied by 0.88 each time X increases by 1. That means the value is 88% of what it was the year before, <em>a decrease of 12%</em>.
Assuming that x2=x^2 or x squared
so evaluate
basically subsitute values for x
0
6(0)-0^2
0-0
0

6(1)-1^2
6-1

6(2)-2^2

0
if we were to display the results on a table with the numbers we subsituted on the left and results on the right we would get
0,0
<span>1,5
</span>2,8
<span>3,9
</span><span>4,8
</span><span>5,5
</span>6,0
we notice that the outputs/results go up then down
the outputs were
0,5,8,9,8,5,0 when the inputs were
0,1,2,3,4,5,6
