Question 8 (1 point) Restaurant equipment initially worth $22,000 has depreciated to $16,200 eight years later. Find a linear function that describes how the value of the equipment depends on time. y = 725x + 16,200 y = -725x + 16,200 y = 725x + 22,000 y = -725x + 22,000 Question 9 (1 point) Use the function from question 8 to find the value of the equipment 12 years after its initial purchase. $7500

Quick Copy buys an office machine for 5200 dollars on January 1 of a given year. The machine is expected to last for 8 yr, at the end of which time its salvage value will be 1100 dollars. If the company figures the decline in value to be the same each year, then the book value, $V(t),$ after $t$ years, $0 \leq t \leq 8,$ is given by $$V(t)=C-t\left(\frac{C-S}{N}\right)$$ where $C$ is the original cost of the item, $N$ is the number of years of expected life, and $S$ is the salvage value. a) Find the linear function for the straight-line depreciation of the office machine. b) Find the book value after 0 yr, 1 yr, 2 yr, 3 yr, 4 yr, 7 yr, and 8 yr.
