<u>Solution-</u>

The company purchased a new computer for $1500 and chooses to depreciate using the straight-line method for 5 years.

a-

As the value is depreciating, so its slope will be -ve.

Slope =- \frac{1500}{5}=-300 ( ∵ The value of 1500 will depreciate in 5 years )

y-intercept = 1500           ( ∵ At the beginning when x=0, y=1500)

Linear equation of the system,

y = mx +c ,

where,

m = slope = -300,

c = y-intercept = 1500

Putting the values,

y=-300x+1500

\Rightarrow y=1500-300x


b-

The implied domain of the function is 1≤x≤5 or [1,5]


c-

Follow the attachment attached herewith for the graph.


d-

Here,

y = the value of the computer

.

x = number of years depreciated = 3

Putting the values in the linear equation,

y = 1500-300(3) = 1500-900 = 600

∴  The book value of the computer after 3 years is $600.


e-

Here given that,

y = value of computer = 1600

x = asked = ??

Putting the values in the equation,

1600 = 1500 - 300x

⇒ 100= -300x

⇒ x= -3

∴ As the x is in negative, i.e it is impossible for the computer to be worth of 1600. It happens also because as the value is depreciating, it will always be less than 1500.
