Question

Type the correct answer in the box. Sam purchased a new car for $17,930. The value of the car depreciated by 19% per year. When he trades the car in after x years, the car is worth no more than $1,900. Fill in the values of a, b, and c to complete the exponential inequality of the form a(b)x ≤ c that can be used to determine the number of years after which the car is worth no more than $1,900.

Answer 1

Answer:

17930(0.81)^x =< 1900

Explanation:

a(b)^x =< c

a = new car value

b = value of car after depreciation

c = final car value

x = number of years

a(b)^x =< c

17930(1 - 0.19)^x =< 1900

17930(0.81)^x =< 1900
