(a)
\The function represents the value of the computer after
years.
represents the original value of the computer.
Original value of the compute: .
at
, hence the point on the graph of the function
is
.
Company depreciate the computer using straight line method for 3 years
\then , hence the point is
.
Consider the two points and
.
The Slope of the function is
.
The general form of linear function is , where
is the
-intercept.
From the point , the value of
.
The function is .
(b).
\The function is .
The age of the computer cannot be negative and the value of the computer is
\dpreciated after years.
The domain of the function is or
.
(c)
\Graph:
\The function is .
The Slope of the function is .
From part(a), consider the point
The point is , move the point
untis upward and
unit right to the point
.
(d).
\Find the book value of the computer after years.
Substitute in the function
.
The computer have a book value of after
years.
(e).
\Find the number of years when the book value is $ .
Substitute in the function
.
After year, the book value of the computer is $
.
(a) The function .
(b) The domain of the function is or
.
(c) Graph the function for .
(d) The computer have a book value of $ after
years.
(e) After year, the book value of the computer is$
