Step-by-step explanation:
a)
<u>The first laptop</u>
- Initial value- $2000
- Value loss - 14% every year
- Function for value- V(t) = 2000*0.86^t
<u>The second laptop</u>
- Initial value- $1200
- Value loss - 11% every year
- Function- V(t) = 1200*0.89^t
b)
Monthly percent decrease
<u>The first laptop:</u>
- 14%/12 = 1.16%
<u>The second laptop:</u>
- 11%/12 = 0.92%
c)
The second laptop will lose less value in 5 years hence is better choice
