Most automobiles depreciate as they get older. Suppose an automobile that originally costs $14,000 depreciates by 20% of its value every year. 
What exponential equation can we create to model this situation?

• y=14000(.20)^x
• y=14000(.80)^x
• y=14000(1+.20)^x
• y=14000(1+.80)^x

• f(t)=1500(1.09)^t
• f(t)=1500(0.09)^t
• f(t)=2000(0.09)^t
• f(t)=1500(9)^t
