Question

Belinda is thinking about buying a car for $45,000. The table below shows the projected value of two different cars for three years.
Number of years
1
2
3
Car 1 (value in dollars) 40,500 36,450 32,805
Car 2 (value in dollars) 42,000 39,000 36,000
Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of each of the cars after a fixed number of years? Explain your
answer. (2 points)
Part B: Write one function for each car to describe the value of the car f(x), in dollars, after x years. (4 points)
Part C: Belinda wants to purchase a car that would have the greatest value in 13 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of either car
after 13 years? Explain your answer, and show the value of each car after 13 years.

Answer 1

@snowflake0531 any idea here please ? ty

Answer 2

@darkknight
explain for dis person please xdxdxdxddd

Answer 3

the ss is cut off, please post full thing so ik what im tryinig to help with

Answer 4

so to find the type of function, you can see if the change in value of dollars is linearly proportional to time, so if you plot the points of the graphs, if you see straight lines then the type is linear, try that for both cars for part A please

Answer 6

- Plot the given dataset on a graph.
- Connect the dots
- Does it look like a straight line? Is it a curve? Figure out.
- Come up with a function for this graph. It would likely be a linear function
- Use this function to find the value of the cars for the last part.
