The table shows the value in dollars of a motorcycle at the end of x years
number of years, x 0| 1| 2| 3|
value, v(x)
(dollars) 12,000| 10,800| 9,750| 8,748
which exponential function models this situation?
The exponential function that models this situation is:
v(x) = 12,000 * (0.9)^x
In this function, 0.9 represents the decay factor as the value of the motorcycle decreases each year.
