Approximately, what was the value of Mr. Delaney's car 5 years after its purchase?

Question

The value of Mr. Delaney's car x years after it's purchase is given by the function V(x)=15000(0.87)^2.

Answer 1

I think you mean:

V(x) =15000(0.87)^x

So:

V(5) = 15000(0.87)⁵

Use you calculator to compute the answer.
