Answer:

B $5904.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

in a geometric sequence the values are multiplied by a factor, Let´s find it

        year                Value %

    (A)year 1               10000

   (B)  year 2              9000

    (C) year 3              8100

[tex]\\ \frac{S_{n} }{S_{n-1} } \\\\\frac{S_{2} }{S_{1} }=\frac{9000}{10000}=0.9\\\frac{S_{3} }{S_{2} }=\frac{8100}{9000}=0.9[/tex]

the factor is 0.9

making the table

year 1=10000

year2=10000*0.9=9000

year 3=9000*0.9=8100

year 4=8100*0.9=7290

year 5=7290*0.9=6561

year 6 =6561*0.9=5904.9

after 6 years the equipment will be worth $5904.9

I hope it helps
