Question 851705: Robin bought a computer for $1250. It will depreciate, or decrease in value, by 10% each year that she owns it. Show all work.
a) Is the sequence formed by the value at the beginning of each year arithmetic, geometric, or neither? Explain
b) Write an explicit formula to represent the sequence.
c) Find the value of the computer at the beginning of the 6th year. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) It is geometric. Multiply by .9
b) Tn = 1250 * .9^(n - 1)
c)
t2=1125
t3=1012.5
t4=911.25
t5=820.125
t6 =738
