What is an exponential function?

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent [tex]\rm y = a^x[/tex]

where a is a constant and a>1

We can solve this problem by exponential function:

The word  depreciate means the price is decreasing.

We can find the value be when the car is 10 years old:

p = 38800(1 - 0.06)¹⁰

p = 38800(0.94)¹⁰

p = 20898.266 ≈ $20898.27

Thus, the value of a car after 10 years be $20898.27 if the car rental company assumes each car in their fleet depreciates by 6% per year option (a) $20898.27 is correct.
