Note on how to solve such equation:
This is a quadradic equation. The figure shown is a parabola. This parabola opens downward. Now, this information is not necessary important for this particular situation; however, it needs to be retained for said class or for the near future.
The equation for a quadradic function is: f(x)=x^2+2
when x=-2, y=1
Answer:
Given
f(x)=18,000(.88)^x
We need to find the value of x when f(x) <2000
2000 = 18000(0.88)^x
0.88^x 2000/18000
0.88^x 1/9
• x = log (1/9) / log (0.88)
• x= 17 (rounded down)
After 17 years or during year 18 the car value will drop below $2000
since the area formula is length times width,72 times 36 = 2592 then that times 6 = 15552.That is the area of the lot that has trees.
