Using an exponential function, it is found that the equation that represents the value of the car after 5 years is:

A(5) = 21800(0.905)^5 = 13234.25

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, the car is purchased for 21,800 dollars, and it's value deprecites 9.5% per year, hence the equation for it's value after t years is given by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 - r)^t

A(t) = 21800(1 - 0.095)^t

A(t) = 21800(0.905)^t

After 5 years, the value is given by:

A(5) = 21800(0.905)^5 = 13234.25
