1. The value V of a certain good in terms of the time t is described by the function V = , where a
and b are parameters to be determined and the time t is measured in months. Furthermore, we know
that V(0) = 11 and V(8) =
303
a. Find the value of a and b.
b. When will the value of the good be less than 8?
c. Find in which periods of time the value of the good is increasing, and in which periods the value
of the good is decreasing.
d. What is the evolution of the value of the good in the long run?
