did it

Answer 2

For this case we have an exponential function of the form:

`y = A (b) ^ x`

Where,

• A: original cost
• b: rate of change
• x: number of years

Therefore, replacing values we have:

`y = 25000 * (0.92) ^ 7\\y = 13946`

Answer:

the value, after 7 years, of a 2014 Ford Mustang is:

`y = 13946`
