Let m be the number of months. Our balance is denoted by B(m):
B(m) = 85 - 7.5m
The question asks when B(m) is less than 0. So we set up an inequality:

To solve this inequality for m, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=85-7.5m%3C0&pl=Solve']we type it in our search engine[/URL] and we get:

A car is purchased for $24,000 . Each year it loses 30% of its value. After how many years will tA car is purchased for $24,000 . Each year it loses 30% of its value. After how many years will the car be worth $7300 or less? (Use the calculator provided if necessary.) Write the smallest possible whole number answer.
Set up the depreciation equation D(t) where t is the number of years in the life of the car:
D(t) = 24,000 * (1 - 0.3)^t
D(t) = 24000 * (0.7)^t
The problem asks for D(t)<=7300
24000 * (0.7)^t = 7300
Divide each side by 24000
(0.7)^t = 7300/24000
(0.7)^t= 0.30416666666
Take the natural log of both sides:
LN(0.7^t) = -1.190179482215518
Using the natural log identities, we have:
t * LN(0.7) = -1.190179482215518
t * -0.35667494393873245= -1.190179482215518
Divide each side by -0.35667494393873245
t = 3.33687437943
[B]Rounding this up, we have t = 4[/B]

We set up the height function H(m) where m is the number of months since now. We have:
H(m) = 4.5m + 15
We want to know when H(m) = 27.5, so we set our H(m) function equal to 27.5:

Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Calculate earnings per lifespan:
Earnings per lifespan = lifespan in years * Annual Earnings
Earnings per lifespan = 71 * 13 * 24 * 365 <-- (24 hours per day * 365 days per year)
Earnings per lifespan = 8,085,480
Calculate the number of lifespans needed to match Jeff Bezos earnings:

10 - f + 1.5f = 12.50
To solve for f, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=10-f%2B1.5f%3D12.50&pl=Solve']type this equation into our search engine[/URL] and we get:
[B]f = 5[/B]
Now, substitute this f = 5 value back into modified equation (1) above:
c = 10 - 5
[B]c = 5[/B]
