The resale value of a boat can be determined by the exponential function shown below. V(t) = 25,600(0. 2)tIf V(t) represents the resale value of the boat in dollars and t represents the number of elapsed years since the purchase of the boat, which statement represents the best interpretation of the meaning of the a and b values from the function in terms of the problem situation?

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

39.00 x 24 = total installment price

carrying installment price - cash price

needed to save the .00/

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
