Answer:

second choice 12,000(0.9)ˣ

Explanation:

The equation for the value of the motorcycle can be modeled as follows

V = 12000(1- r)ˣ where r is the rate of decine

1- r must be less than 1 since the value is decreasing

We can eliminate the first and third choices which show the value as increasing.

The value of the motorcycle at x = 0 is 12,000

Therefore the correct choice is the second choice 12,000(0.9)ˣ

The last choice is wrong- it's showing the base price as 10,800
