Question

The price of a certain kind of computer is surely decreasing. A

recent survey shows that the price of Acer 5950G is calculated
by the function P(t) = 823/4- 0.62t, where P is the price
(measured by dollars) and t is the time (measured by years). It
will take years that the price decreases to $1000. Round
your answer to one decimal point.

Answer 1

• So we are given p(t)= 205.75 - 0.62t
• Lets set that equal to 1000 to find time
• 1000= 205.75-0.62t
• t= 1281 years
