The value of Mr. Cox’s car x years after its purchase is given by the function, V(x) = 20,000(0.85)x. Approximately, what was the value of Mr. Cox’s car 5 years after its purchase?

OpenStudy (ganpat):

V(x) = 20,000(0.85)x. substitute, x = 5 in the equation and simplify to find the value...

OpenStudy (ganpat):

V(x) = 20,000(0.85)x. V(5) = 20,000 (0.85) * 5 V (5) = 85000
