Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Car A follows a linear pattern, as a straight well fitted line was obtained from the regression model, with a fixed amount as Depreciation per year.

CarB follows an exponential trve das obtained on the regression plot.

Using technology :

Where, f(x) = price of car

The linear function for car 1 :

f(x) = - 6000x + 38000

THE exponential function :

f(x) = 38000(0.85)^x

In 5 years :

Car 1:

f(5) = - 6000(5) + 38000 = 8000

Car 2 :

f(x) = 38000(0.85)^5 = 16,860.801

Hence, car 2 has the the greatest value after 5 years
