Question

(a) write an equation that represents the depreciated value v as a function of the years t. v = 17000 - 3000t (do not factor.) (b) write an inequality using t as the variable that indicates that the depreciated value v of the equipment is less than $8000. (do not simplify.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute V into inequality

We know $V = 17000 - 3000t$, and we need $V < 8000$. Replace $V$ with its expression.
$17000 - 3000t < 8000$

Answer:

$17000 - 3000t < 8000$
