The value of a piece of industrial equipment depreciates after it is purchased. Suppose that the depreciation follows an exponential decay model. The value of the equipment at the end of 9 years is $25,000 and its value has been decreasing at the rate of 6.5% per year. Find the equation for the value of the industrial equipment. Group of answer choices

positive

step-by-step explanation:

the quadrant is facing upwards

the answer is 54 sq. ft. i just did this question, on odyssey ware, and it was right. make brainliest.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
