A new car loses 15% of its value each year, then only 85% of the car price remained. As a decimal 85% is 0.85 (if 100% is the whole 1).

Let t be the number of years when car is losing value. Then you have a regularity:

  • after first year the car's value becomes \$27,000\cdot 0.85=\$22,950;
  • after second year the car's value becomes \$22,950\cdot 0.85=\$19,507.5 and so on.

Therefore, the function that represents the situation is

f(t)=27,000\cdot (0.85)^t.

When t=5, you can count that

f(5)=27,000\cdot (0.85)^5=11,980.0434375\approx 11,980.04.

Answer: coefficient - 0.85; function - f(t)=27,000\cdot (0.85)^t, value of car in five years - $11,980.04

-7x+10y=20. -3x+y=-2
16x-10y=70. -x-y=6

9x=90. -4x=4
[x=10] [x= -1]

-7(10)+10y=20. -3(-1)+y=-2
-70+10y=20. 3+y=-2
