Question

The value of a certain car, in dollar, x years from its model year can be predicted the following function:

f(x) = 17,000(0.87)
The value of a certain SUV, in dollars, x years from its model year can be predic the exponential function shown in the table.
How much more will the SUV be worth than the car 5 years after their model y
Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The information needed to calculate and compare the value of the SUV to the car after 5 years is incomplete as the SUV's depreciation function is missing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed involves an exponential function that models the depreciation of a car and SUV's value over time.

To calculate how much more the SUV will be worth than the car after 5 years, we need to use the provided depreciation function for the car, apply similar logic to the missing function of the SUV, which seems to be missing in the information provided, and then compare the values at x = 5 years.

Unfortunately, the relevant exponential function for the SUV is not provided in the question, making it impossible to complete the calculation.

Hence, we cannot accurately determine the additional worth of the SUV compared to the car without it.
