Answer:

Initial Value: 19,900

Value after 11 years: 7953

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the car is its value at t =0. Therefore, to find this initial value, we put in t = 0 to get


v(0)=19,900(0.92)^0
\boxed{v\mleft(0\mright)=19,900}

Hence, the initial value is $19,900.

Now, to find the value after 11 years, we put t = 11 into the equation and get


v(11)=19,900(0.92)^(11)

which gives (rounded to the nearest dollar)


\boxed{v\mleft(11\mright)=7953}

which is our answer!

Hence, the value after 11 years is $7953.
