Question 14979: I need to develop a function that represents the following conditions:
A car was purchased for $22,500. The value of the car decreases by $3200 per year for the first six years. Write a function that describes the value of the car, V, after x years, where x is greater than or equal to 0 but less than or equal to 7. Then find and interpret V(3).
V(x)=22,500-3200(x)
v(3)=22,500-3200(3)
That would be my best guess. Thanks for your help!

It looks right to me. Go ahead and evaluate v(3). I got $12,900. What did you get?
