Question 440461: Please answer this question, I am SO lost.
SendUP Graphics brought a computer for $3800. The value V(t) of the computer depreciates at a rate of $50 per month.
Formulate a linear function for the value V(t) of the computer after t months.
Use the model to determine the value of the computer after 10 1/2 months.
Thanks in advance

After one month, the price of the computer would be $3750. After two months, the price would be $3700, and so on.
The function can be modeled as V(t) = 3800 - 50t (it's linear, and satisfies the given conditions). From this, V(10.5) = 3800 - 50(10.5) = $3275.
