Answer 1

Answer: ↓↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

131.5 or $131,500 is the starting value of the plane X before it started to depreciate.

Part B (They meant plane Y as in plane Y but plane B as in the second plane, look at the table and Part C)

b (m) = 177,233 (0.024)^m

$177,233 is the starting value of plane Y.

The value depreciates by 2.4% and that is the same as 0.024, except 0.024 is in decimal form.

Part C

b (t) = 177,233 (0.024 x 12)^t

b (t) = 177,233 (0.288)^t

I multiplied 12 by the depreciation because for the whole equation to actually show the depreciation in years I had to solve how much the plane would depreciate in 1 year. So, since 12 months is 1 year, I multiplied 12 by 0.024.

That's it! I hope I'm right because this took a lot of thinking lol
