Given
[tex]v(t)=19900(0.84)^t[/tex]
a) The car has its original (initial) value when no time has passed since it was bought; in other words t=0. Then,
[tex]\text{ initial value: }v(0)=19900(0.84)^0=19900*1=19900[/tex]
The initial value is 19900.
b) After 11 years, t=11; then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} v(11)=19900(0.84)^{11}=2923.64894... \\ \Rightarrow v(11)\approx2924 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the second answer is 2924
