Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 4) , thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 4

To find a substitute (3, - 1 ) into the equation

- 1 = a(3 - 2)² - 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

3 = a

Thus

y = 3(x - 2)2 - 4 ← equation in vertex form

   = 3(x² - 4x + 4) + 4

    = 3x² - 12x + 12 + 4

     = 3x² - 12x + 16 ← equation in standard form

with coefficient of x² term = 3

notice how the y values are they same.....this means u have a horizontal line with a 0 slope.

y = 0x + 6...slope intercept form
0x + y = 6 <==== standard form

Straight line depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation in each year.
Our Depreciation Base is 21,000 - 1,000 = 20,000
The useful life is 5 years, so each year we depreciate 20,000 ÷ 5 = 4,000

Book Value is Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
After Year 1: 
Book Value = 21,000 - 4,000 = 17,000

Answer is A) 17,000
