Someone me on this
plz show work

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


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


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):


That's your final answer^.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easiest to do this by synthetic division.

The zero of the divisor binomial is put in the tableau at upper left, and the coefficients of the dividend polynomial are listed across the top. The leftmost dividend coefficient (8) is brought down, and the multiplication and addition proceed left-to-right according to the instructions in the attached figure.

The final sum is the remainder. Here, it is 132, so the dividend polynomial is not evenly divisible by (x -4).
