                The function V = 22,000 • 0.82  models the
                depreciation of the value of a new car that       A. $21,000
                originally cost $22,000. V represents the value   B. $23,600
                of the car and t represents the time in years from   C. $18,040
                the time the car was purchased.                   D. $20,000
