Answer:

$4088.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Price a =  $6500

Rate of depreciation r= 14.3%

Time x= 3 years

The exponential function Decay is described as

y= ab^x

For decay

b= 1-r

a.

Hence the exponential function that model the value of the computer is

y=a(1-r)^x

b.

y= 6500(1-0.143)^3

y= 6500*(0.857)^3

y= 6500*0.629

y=$4088.5

Hence the value of the computer after 3 years is $4088.5
