To find: The linear equation that gives the dollar value V of the MP3 player in terms of the year t .
(a)

Answer to Problem 30RE
The linear equation that gives the dollar value V of the MP3 player in terms of the year t is equal to V(t)=285−47.50t .
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The dollar value of an MP3 player in 2015 is $285 . The product will decrease in value at an expected rate of $47.50 per year.
Calculation:
As the initial value of MP3 player in 2015 i.e. t=0 is $285 and the value of MP3 player decrease at an rate of $47.50 per year.
The decrease in value of MP3 player for t years is $47.50t and the value of MP3 player after t years is equal to 285−47.50t .
Therefore, the linear equation that gives the dollar value V of the MP3 player in terms of the year t is equal to V(t)=285−47.50t .
(b)
To graph: The equation found in part(a) in appropriate window for the graph and state its dimensions of the viewing window.
(b)

Answer to Problem 30RE
The dimensions of the viewing window are [0,6] by [0,285] as the intercepts for the equation are 6 and 285 .
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The dollar value of an MP3 player in 2015 is $285 . The product will decrease in value at an expected rate of $47.50 per year.
Calculation:
To graph a function V(t)=285−47.50t , follow the steps using graphing calculator.
First press “ON” button on graphical calculator, press Y= key and enter right hand side of the equation y=285−47.50t after the symbol Y1 . Enter the keystrokes 285−47.50X .
The display will show the equation,
Y1=285−47.50X
Press the WINDOW key and adjust the window by [0,6] by [0,285] .
Now, press the GRAPH key and TRACE key to produce the graph of given quadratic equation in standard window as shown in Figure (1).
Figure (1)
These dimensions are chosen as the intercepts formed by the line are 6 and 285 .
(c)
To find: The dollar value of MP3 player in 2019 with the help of trace key and confirm the answer algebraically.
(c)

Answer to Problem 30RE
The dollar value of MP3 player in 2019 is equal to $95 .
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The dollar value of an MP3 player in 2015 is $285 . The product will decrease in value at an expected rate of $47.50 per year.
Calculation:
To graph a function V(t)=285−47.50t , follow the steps using graphing calculator.
First press “ON” button on graphical calculator, press Y= key and enter right hand side of the equation y=285−47.50t after the symbol Y1 . Enter the keystrokes 285−47.50X .
The display will show the equation,
Y1=285−47.50X
Press the WINDOW key and adjust the window by [0,6] by [0,285] .
Now, press the GRAPH key and TRACE key to produce the graph of given quadratic equation in standard window as shown in Figure (1).
Now enter the keystrokes 2ndTRACE1 and then enter the value of X=4 as X=4 represents the year 2019 .
Figure (1)
So, the dollar value of MP3 player in 2019 is equal to $95 .
Confirm the answer algebraically.
Substitute 4 for t in the function for value as t=4 represents the year 2019 .
V(t)=285−47.50tV(4)=285−47.50(4)V(4)=285−190V(4)=95
Therefore, the dollar value of MP3 player in 2019 is equal to $95 .
(d)
To find: The year when the MP3 player will not have value.
(d)

Answer to Problem 30RE
The year when the MP3 player will not have value is 2021 .
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The dollar value of an MP3 player in 2015 is $285 . The product will decrease in value at an expected rate of $47.50 per year.
Calculation:
As observed from the graph in part(b), the function of value touches the x -axis at x=6 .
So, the MP3 player has 0 value at x=6 .
The value x=6 corresponds to the year 2021 .
Therefore, the year when the MP3 player will not have value is 2021 .
