Question 1191956: A new car worth $45,000 is depreciating in value by $3000 per year.
a. Write a formula that models the car’s value, y, in dollars, after x years.
b. Use the formula from part (a) to determine after how many years the car’s value will be
$9000.
c. Graph the formula in part (a) in the first quadrant of a rectangular coordinate system then
show your solution to part (b) on the graph.
