Question 17

The value of a car t t\,t years after it was purchased, where V V\,V is the value of the car in thousands of pounds, is modelled by the formula V=A+Be−16t\displaystyle V = A + Be^{\frac{-1}{6}t}V=A+Be6−1​t where A A\,A and B B\,B are constants.

The graph passes through (0,18)(0, 18)(0,18) and (6,7)(6, 7)(6,7). y=ky = ky=k is an asymptote to the curve.

Find the values of AAA, B B\,B and kkk.
