Kwame bought a car for $25,000. The value of the car is decreasing at a rate of 6.5% each year. Write a function that represents the price P of the car after x years. Note: use parentheses around the rate

Solution:

The decreasing function is given as:

Where,

y is future value

a is initial value

r is decreasing rate in decimal

t is time period

From given,

a = 25000

number of years = x

future value = P

Therefore,

Thus the function is found

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
