Question

Write an equation that illustrates this function if you plan to keep the truck for 7 years and determine the value of the truck at the end of this period. Let v represent the dependent variable and let t represent the independent variable.

a. V - 12,400 - 8201
$6660
b V - 12,400 - 8201
$5840
c. 1 -12,400 - 820v
$6660
d. - 12,400 - 820v,
$7480

Answer 1

The correct equation that illustrates this function if you plan to keep the truck for 7 years and determine the value of the truck at the end of this period is: -12,400 - 820v, $7480.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation that illustrates this function if you plan to keep the truck for 7 years and determine the value of the truck at the end of this period is:

d. - 12,400 - 820v, $7480

The equation represents a linear function where V is the dependent variable (the value of the truck) and t is the independent variable (the number of years).

The equation shows that the initial value of the truck is -12,400 dollars, and the value decreases by 820 dollars per year.

To find the value of the truck at the end of 7 years, substitute t = 7 into the equation:

V = - 12,400 - 820(7) = - 12,400 - 5740 = -18,140 dollars
