The depreciating value of a semi-truck can be modeled by y = ao(0.84)x, where y is the remaining value of the semi, x is the time in years, and it depreciates at 16% per year.

what is the value of the truck initially, ao, and how would the graph change if the depreciation rate was 26% per year?

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7
