This isn't really a step by step explanation but I'm going to explain this simply. An output can have as many inputs possible but an input can only have ONE OUTPUT(just putting emphasis on this one output, I'm not yelling). Example, the input "2" can be equal to the output of "4" depending on the equation the fuction, however, the input of "2" CAN NOT be equal to the outputs of "4" and "6" because as my Algebra teacher explained it "for every input, there is exactly one output". I hope this helps and I hope I didn't lose you in my explaination.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The price p, in dollars, of a specific car that is x year old is modeled by the function p(x)=22,255(0.91)^x

a) to determine the cost of a 2 year old car, we will substitute 2 for x in the given function. Therefore

p(2)=22,255(0.91)^2

p(2)=22,255 × 0.8281 = $18673.655

Approximately $18674

b) to determine the cost of a 7 year old car, we will substitute 7 for x in the given function. Therefore

p(7)=22,255(0.91)^7

p(2)=22,255 × 0.51676101936 = 11500.51648579693

Approximately $11501

c) 0.91 indicates exponential decay rate. It is a fixed percentage by which the value of the car decreases every year. It is determined by (1 - rate of decay)
