Suppose he reaches 95 of his adult height at age 16. Use this information and that from part a to find r. Suggestion: You will need to use either the crossing-graphs method or some algebra involving the logarithm. c.

Each year, a car loses 10% of its value. This means that each year the value of a car is 90% of the previous year’s value. If a new car was purchased for $20,000, the value at the end of the first year would be $20000(0.90) and the value of the car after the end of the second year would be $20000(0.90)2.
