      1.      You buy a new car for $20,000. The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year.

       

      a)      Write a model giving the car’s value y in dollars after t years.

       

      b)      Use the model to estimate the value of the car after.

      i)        3 years                            ii) 10 years                                iii) 20 years

       

      c)      Use the values from part b to graph the model (choose appropriate intervals).

       

       

       

      d)      Estimate when the car will be $10,000 (Bonus: calculate the exact time in years).
