A function that depicts depreciation can be represented as equations, graphs and tables.
<h3>The yearly value of each car for the first five years</h3>
The functions are given as:


Where:
C = 5895 --- the initial value of the car
r = 22% --- the rate of depreciation
For the first 5 years, the values of t = 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
For the first function, we have:





For the second function, we have





So, the table of values is:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Years&Car\ 1&Car\ 2\\1&4598.1&4598.1\\2&5609.7&3586.5\\3&5832.2&2797.5\\4&5881.2&2182.0\\5&5892.0&1702.0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7DYears%26Car%5C%201%26Car%5C%202%5C%5C1%264598.1%264598.1%5C%5C2%265609.7%263586.5%5C%5C3%265832.2%262797.5%5C%5C4%265881.2%262182.0%5C%5C5%265892.0%261702.0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
See attachment for the graphs of the two functions
<h3>Interpreting the graphs</h3>
The graph of car 1 increases up to C(t) = 5895, and then remains constant as the value of t increases while the graph of car 2 follows an exponential pattern.
This means that, the graph 2 that follows an exponential pattern is more realistic
<h3>The worth of the cars after 5 years</h3>
From the table, the worth of car 1 is $5892.0, while the worth of car 1 is $1702.0
