Question

24. Congratulations! You have just won a jet ski worth $8000. The depreciated value of the jet ski (V) after t years is given by V = 8000 − 725t , 0 ≤ t ≤ 11.

a. Use a graphing utility to graph the equation. Include a t-chart with at least 5 key points with your accurate labeled graph.
b. After how many years will the jet ski be worth $5100? Show all of your work or explain how you came up with your answer.
c. What will be the value of the jet ski after 9 years? Show all of your work or explain how you came up with your answer.

Answer 1

a)
`y=mx+c`

`m=gradient=-725`

`y(v)-intercept=8000`

b)
`5100=8000-725t`

`2900=725t`

`t=4`
The value will be 5100 after 4 years.

c)
`V=8000-725(9)`

`V=8000-6525`

`V=1475`
The value of the jet will be 1475 after 9 years.

Hope I helped bro, now i can sleep

Answer 2

So:


`V=8000-725t\quad \{ 0\le t\le 11\}`

*V (in dollars) stands for the depreciated or non depreciated value of the jet ski.

*t (in years) stands for the amount of time that has passed. t is greater or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 11.

-------------------

Question (a):

Now V is a function of t. V=f(t).

When t=0, V=0 --> Point:(0,0)

When t=2, V=6550 --> Point (2, 6550)

When t=4, V=5100 --> Point (4, 5100)

When t=6, V=3650 --> Point (6, 3650)

When t=8, V=2200 --> Point (8,2200)

When t=11, V=25 --> Point: (11, 25)

So as the graph V=8000-725t is LINEAR, we can draw a line through the points mentioned above.

------------------------

Question (b): After how many years will the jet ski be worth $5100?


`8000-725t=5100\\ \\ 8000-5100=725t\\ \\ 2900=725t\\ \\ \frac { 2900 }{ 725 } =t\\ \\ \therefore \quad t=4,\quad when\quad V=5100`

Answer: 4 years.

-----------------------

Question (c): What will be the value of the jet ski after 9 years?


`When\quad t=9,\\ \\ V=8000-725\left( 9 \right) \\ \\ =1475`

The answer is $1,475.00
