Age of car = 5 years. Original cost = $16,995. The current market value is $______. 3,399.00 5,098.50 11,896.50 13,596.00
1 answer:
Answer:
3,399.00
Step-by-step explanation:
According of the market value of a car model (check the attached picture), the market value of car is 20% of its original value after 5 years.
We know from our problem that the original cost of the car is $16,995, so we need to find the 20% of that original cost to find the current market value of the car.
current market value = 20% of $16,995
We need to convert the percentage to decimal so we can multiply the two and find the current value. To do it we just need to divide the percentage by 100%:
(20%)/(100%) =
current market value = (0.2)($16,995)
current market value = $3,399
We can conclude that the current market value of the car after 5 years is 3,399.00

First of all, we compute the points of interest, i.e. the points where the curve cuts the x axis: since the expression is already factored, we have
Which means that the roots are
Next, we can expand the function definition:
In this form, it is much easier to compute the derivative:
If we evaluate the derivative in the points of interest, we have
This means that we are looking for the equations of three lines, of which we know a point and the slope. The equation
is what we need. The three lines are:
This is the tangent at x = -2
This is the tangent at x = 0
This is the tangent at x = 1
