a) losing value is exponential decay.

b) Initial value is the price you paid = $1,200

c) decay factor is 100% - the percent lost per year = 90%

d) value = starting value x decay factor^ time

 f(x) = 1200 x 0.90^x

e) replace x with 3 then 8 and solve:

f(3) = 1200 x 0.90^3 = 874.80

after 3 years it is worth $874.80

f(8) = 1200 x 0.90^8 = 516.56

after 8 years it is worth $516.56
