A delivery truck is purchased new for $58,000.
Write a linear function of the form y = mt + b to represent the value y of the vehicle t years after purchase. Assume that the vehicle is depreciated by $6580 per year.
Suppose that the vehicle is depreciated so that it holds 70% of its value from the previous year. Write an exponential function of the form y = V0bt, where V0 is the initial value and t is the number of years after purchase.
To the nearest dollar, determine the value of the vehicle after 4 yr and after 8 yr using the linear model.
