The value V of a new car, which cost $50,000 initially, when depreciated linearly over 20 years is given by V=50,000(1-x/20). where x represents years. Determine the values of x such that 0 < V < 20,000.
----------
V = 0 at x = 20 years.
----
V = 20000 = 50000*(1 - x/20)
2 = 5(1 - x/20) = 5 - x/4
x/4 = 3
x = 12 years
-------
12 < x < 20
