A new car is purchased for $40,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half every 3 years. What is the value of the car 17 years after it was purchased, to the nearest hundred dollars?

Value  of the car after depreciation = $800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the final value of the car after depreciation of the car price,

Final value =

Here, t = Number of years after the purchase

n = Number of years for the depreciation of price by half

By substituting values in the formula,

Final value =

                  =

                  = $787.451

                  ≈ $800 [Nearest hundred dollars]

Therefore, after 17 years value of the new car will be $800.

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
