PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE! VERY IMPORTANT!! 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. (4 points)

please include screen shots so i can answer the rest of the questions but from what i see i think number 1 is linear

Step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
