A new car is purchased for $30,000 and over time its value depreciates by one half every 5 years. What is the value of the car 11 years after it was purchased, to the
nearest hundred dollars?

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

8

step-by-step explanation:

30,40,50 is correct answer
