Answer:
therefore the correct options are:
B. the equation is an exponential decay equation.
F. $28000 represents the initial cost of an automobile that depreciates 27% per year over the course of t years.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) the cost of an automobile is given by the equation is
C(t) = [tex]28000\times(0.73)^{t}[/tex], where C(t) represents the cost and t represents the time in years
ii) the above equation is an exponential decay equation. It is a decay equation because growth rate is 0.73 which is less than 1 and greater than zero.
ii) when t = 0 then the cost is C(0) = 28000 represents the initial cost.
iii) from the equation in i) we can understand that the cost depreciates 27% per year over the course of t years.
therefore the correct options are:
B. the equation is an exponential decay equation.
F. $28000 represents the initial cost of an automobile that depreciates 27% per year over the course of t years.
