Answer
1
Recall the expression derived in the previous question for the mobile phone value v and time t.
$v = 10000 - 800t$
2
Find the phone value for each value of t from 0 to 8 years using the linear expression.
${color:green}Answer: The table shows that the phone value decreases by ₹800 every year.{/color}$
$t$ (years) | $v$ (₹) |
|---|---|
0 | 10000 - 800 × 0 = 10000 |
1 | 10000 - 800 × 1 = 9200 |
2 | 10000 - 800 × 2 = 8400 |
3 | 10000 - 800 × 3 = 7600 |
4 | 10000 - 800 × 4 = 6800 |
5 | 10000 - 800 × 5 = 6000 |
6 | 10000 - 800 × 6 = 5200 |
7 | 10000 - 800 × 7 = 4400 |
8 | 10000 - 800 × 8 = 3600 |
