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
If I understand right you want the inverse of H(x)
H(x)=x
y=x
to calculate the inverse, isolate x, which is already the case, switch x and y, which doesn't change anything and that is your new function
the inverse is the same function in this case
so H⁻¹(x)=x
10g^3 + 12g^2 - 15g - 18 = 2g^2(5g + 6) - 3(5g + 6) = (2g^2 - 3)(5g + 6)
