Calculator allowed

Let the landscaping equipment be represented by a first-order recurrence model

\(V_n\) is the equipment value, in dollars, after \(n\) years. \(V_0\) is the value at the start, so \(n\) counts the number of rule applications

\[V_n=37000-n\times 4403\]

The depreciation is a fixed percentage of the asset's initial value each year

(a)5 marks

Record the starting value, fixed change and recurrence coefficients

(b)1 mark

Which explicit rule is equivalent to the fixed-change model?
