    A. V (2) = $ 391,114.50

    B. t = 7.2 years (rounding to the next tenth) or approximately 7 years, 2 months and 12 days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given formula:

    V (t) = 420,000 * (0.965) ^t

    A. What would be worth the car′s worth in 2 years?

    V (t) = 420,000 * (0.965) ^t

    We replace t by 2, as follows:

    V (2) = 420,000 * (0.965) ²

    V (2) = 420,000 * 0.931225

    V (2) = $ 391,114.50

    B. In how many years will the car be worth $325,000?

    V (t) = 420,000 * (0.965) ^t

    We replace V (t) by 325,000, as follows:

    325,000 = 420,000 * (0.965) ^t

    325,000/420,000 = (0.965) ^t

    0.77381 = (0.965) ^t

    t = log 0.965 (0.7738)

    t = log 0.7738/log 0.965

    t = 7.2 years (rounding to the next tenth) or approximately 7 years, 2 months and 12 days

    0.2 years = 0.2 * 12 = 2.4 months

    0.4 months = 0.4 * 30 = 12 days
