Question

(1 point) The cost of a Frigbox refrigerator is $825, and depreciates $60 each year. The cost of an Arctic Air refrigerator is $1185 , and it depreciates $150 per year.

(a) Find an equation for the value of the Frigbox, FF, ttyears after it is purchased.
F(t)=F(t)=

(b) Find an equation for the value of the Arctic Air, AA, tt years after it is purchased.
A(t)=A(t)=

(c) If a Frigbox and an Arctic Air are bought at the same time, when do the two refrigerators have equal value?
In years.

Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.

Explanation / Answer

a) Find an equation for the value of the Frigbox,

F(t) = 825 - 60t

b) Find an equation for the value of the Arctic Air

A(t) = 1185 - 150t

c) A(t) = F(t)

825 - 60t = 1185 - 150t

90t = 360

t = 4 years
