For accounting purposes, the value of assets (land, buildings, equipment) in a business are depreciated at a set rate per year. the value, v(t) of $537,000 worth of assets after t years, that depreciate at 17% per year, is given by the formula v(t) = vo(b)t. what is the value of vo and b, and when rounded to the nearest cent, what are the assets valued at after 9 years? vo = $537,000, b = 0.17, and the value after 9 years is $0.45 vo = $537,000, b = 0.83, and the value after 9 years is $100,386.92 vo = $537,000, b = 1.17, and the value after 9 years is $98,291.76 vo = $537,000, b = 0.83, and the value after 9 years is $91,290.00

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

answer: i think you should do the math and pay attention in class : )
