A car was originally purchased in January 2010 for 27000 dollars. The car depreciates at a rate of 18% every year.

When will the car be worth half of its original value? Show your work.

Number of year(n) = 3.4 year (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Purchase value of car = $27,000

Depreciation rate per year (d) = 18% = 0.18

Future price = half of its original value = $27,000 / 2 = $13,500

Find:

Number of year(n) = ?

Computation:

Number of year(n) = 3.4 year (Approx)

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value
