Write an equation for the linear function and use it to answer the given question. You can purchase a motorcycle for $7980 or lease it for a down payment of $573 and $212 per month. Find an equation that describes how the cost of the lease depends on time. How long can you lease the motorcycle before you've paid more than its purchase price. A) L = 573 - 212m; 40 months B) L = 573 + 212m; 34 months C) L = 573 - 212m; 34 months D) L = 573 + 212m; 40 months

Automobile lease vs. purchase A car dealer offers a purchase option and a lease option on all new cars. Suppose you are interested in a car that can be bought outright for $$ 25,000$ or leased for a start-up fee of $$ 1200 plus monthly payments of $$ 350 .$ a. Find the linear function $y=f(m)$ that gives the total amount you have paid on the lease option after $m$ months. b. With the lease option, after a 48 -month ( 4-year) term, the car has a residual value of $$ 10,000,$ which is the amount that you could pay to purchase the car. Assuming no other costs, should you lease or buy?

Representing Functions
Linear Application The function V(c) = 21.4 + 3.42c gives the value (in thousands of dollars) of an investment after c months. Interpret the slope in this situation. The value of this investment is increasing at a rate of 3.4 dollars per month.

A motorcycle can be purchased for $8300 or leased for a down payment of $600 and $210 per month. Find a function that describes how the cost of the lease depends on time. Assuming that the monthly payments are made, how long can the motorcycle be leased before more than the purchase price has been paid? The function that models the situation is p = , where p is the amount paid on the lease in dollars and t is the time in months.
