Exponential. 

One way to think about this, is to ask how much you will lose each year. The first year you're losing 20% of $20,000 ($4,000). The second year you're losing 20% of 16,000 ($3,200). The dollar value your car loses each year diminishes exponentially, so it is not a linear but an exponential function.

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?
Serggg [28]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}&#10;\\\\&#10;S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;r=-2\\&#10;n=6\\&#10;S_6=-105&#10;\end{cases}

\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1
