Using an exponential function, it is found that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

<h3>Exponential function:</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the function for the value of the airplane after t years is given by:

A(t) = 131.5(0.8)^t

Hence A(0) = 131.5, which means that the number 131.5 represents the initial value of the plane, in thousands of dollars.

The diagonal forms a right triangle with the sides, so we can use Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

d² = 9² + 40²

d = 41

The diagonal is 41 units long.
