Answer 1

Answer:

A:

The decreasing value of car 1 can be represented by an exponential function and car 2 by a linear function

B:

Car 1: f(x) = $18500(0.94)^{x}$

Car 2: f(x) = 18500 - 1000x

C:

Car 1 would be $10600.40 after 9 years

Car 2 would be $9500.00 after 9 years

There is a significant difference of $1100.40 in value.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = ar^{x}\\f(0) = a = 18500\\f(x) = 18500r^{x}\\f(1) = 18500r = 17390\\r = \frac{17390}{18500} = 0.94\\f(x) = 18500(0.94)^{x}$
