Answer:
<h3>Part A: Function type</h3>
Car 1 . Exponential function
<u>The value ratios are constant:</u>
- 40500/45000 = 36450/4050 = 32805 /36450= 0.9
Car2. Linear function
<u>The value differences are constant:</u>
- 45000 - 42000 = 42000 - 39000 = 39000 - 36000 = 3000
<h3>Part B: Equations</h3>
<u>Car 1</u>
<u>Car 2</u>
<h3>Part C: Value after 13 years</h3>
<u>Car 1</u>
- f(13) = 45000*0.9¹³ = $11438
<u>Car 2</u>
- f(13) = 45000 - 3000*13 = $6000
Car 1 will have a greater price
