This equation is known as the equation for exponential growth/decay:

y = ab^x

Since the car is worth no more than $1,900 when bought, we can rewrite the above equation as:

1900 \geq ab^x

a is the initial value, and b is the growth factor, x is the amount of time that passes.

So, we can plug in all that information (it's negative because the car's value goes down):

1900 \geq -17930(0.19)^x

That's your final answer^.
