After 8 years the value of the computer to be $0 if the Aaron’s mother purchases a new computer for $1750.
<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>
It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.
We have:
Aaron’s mother purchases a new computer for $1750. If she claims a linear depreciation (loss of value) on the computer at a rate of $250 per year.
The above problem can be solved using concept of arithmetic sequence
The starting value = $1750
After one year = 1750 - 250 = $1500
After second year = 1500 - 250 = $1250
Common difference = 1500 - 1750 = -250
a(n) = 1750 + (n - 1)(-250)
a(n) = 0 (final value is zero given)
0 = 1750 + (n - 1)(-250)
n - 1 = 7
n = 8 years
Thus, after 8 years the value of the computer to be $0 if the Aaron’s mother purchases a new computer for $1750.
