Step 1: Consider the provided information, A car has purchase on price $24,800 and the value of car declines continuously at an exponential rate of 23% annually.

Step 2: (A) Consider the function for exponential decay is, 
P=P0(1r%)t
=24800(123100)t
=24800(77100)t
=24800(0.77)t Therefore, the exponential funktion is P=24800(0.77)t.

Step 3: (B) Substitute t=6 in above function,
P=24800(0.77)6
$5168.88 Therefore, the prise after 6 years is $5168.88 Step 4: (c) Substitute P=2000 in the above function.
2000=24800(0.77)t
(0.77)t=200024800
(0.77)t=562
tln(0.77)=ln(565)
t=In(562)In(077)
9.6 years Therefore, the time requarite for value of car become $2000 is 9.6 years.
