Straight-line depreciation is a method of calculating an asset’s value by subtracting its salvage value from its acquisition or purchase price divided by the estimated useful life of the asset. suppose a manufacturing robot cost $1.5 million in 2005 and is sold in 2010 for $50,000. what is the linear equation representing the value of the robot?

Linear equation is V(t) = 1500 - 290t

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the linear equation representing the value of the robot we will calculate per year depreciation in the cost of the robot.

Rate of depreciation =

                                 =

                                 =

                                 =

If depreciation is represented by V(t) (in $000) then equation will be

V(t) = 1500 - 290t

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
