A new car worth \$36,000 is depreciating in value by \$4000 per year. a. Write a formula that models the car's value, y, in dollars, after x years. b. Use the formula from part (a) to determine after how many years the car's value will be \$12,000. c. Graph the formula from part (a) in the first quadrant of a rectangular coordinate system. Then show your solution to part (b) on the graph.

Solve each polynomial equation in Exercises 1–10 by factoring and then using the zero-product principle.
검증된 단계별 안내1
First, rewrite the equation so that all terms are on one side, setting the equation equal to zero: \(4y^3 - 2 - y + 8y^2 = 0\).
Combine like terms to simplify the expression: \(4y^3 + 8y^2 - y - 2 = 0\).
Group terms to factor by grouping: group the first two terms and the last two terms separately: \((4y^3 + 8y^2) + (-y - 2) = 0\).
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group: \(4y^2(y + 2) - 1(y + 2) = 0\).
Since both groups contain the factor \((y + 2)\), factor it out: \((y + 2)(4y^2 - 1) = 0\). Then, apply the zero-product principle by setting each factor equal to zero: \(y + 2 = 0\) and \(4y^2 - 1 = 0\).

Polynomial Equations
Polynomial equations are algebraic expressions set equal to zero, involving variables raised to whole-number exponents. Understanding how to manipulate and simplify these expressions is essential for solving them. In this problem, the equation involves a cubic polynomial, which requires careful rearrangement before factoring.

Factoring Polynomials
Factoring is the process of rewriting a polynomial as a product of simpler polynomials or factors. This step is crucial because it breaks down complex expressions into manageable parts. Common factoring techniques include factoring out the greatest common factor, grouping, and special products like difference of squares.

Zero-Product Principle
The zero-product principle states that if the product of two or more factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. This principle allows us to set each factor equal to zero and solve for the variable, providing the solutions to the polynomial equation after factoring.
