Aaron’s mother purchases a new computer for $1750. if she claims a linear depreciation (loss of value) on the computer at a rate of $250 per year, how long will it take for the value of the computer to be $0?

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear equation for depreciation is given by :-

, where m is rate of depreciation and c is the initial amount.

Given : Aaron’s mother purchases a new computer for $1750.

i.e. c=  $1750

The rate of depreciation = $250 per year

i.e. m= $250 per year

Function of given situation:

For y= 0, we have

Hence, it will take 7 years for the value of the computer to be $0 .

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

6 spoons of sugar for every 21 cups of flour
