The video tutorial presents an exponential decay problem involving the depreciation of a car's value over time. It explains the exponential growth and decay formula, detailing its components such as the initial amount, Euler's number, rate of decay, and time. The tutorial then applies the formula to calculate the car's value after three and a half years, demonstrating the process step-by-step and concluding with the final result.

What is the initial value of the car in the problem?

• $20,000

• $15,000

• $25,000

• $30,000

At what rate does the car's value decrease each year?

• 15%

• 11%

• 5%

• 8%

What is the purpose of the exponential growth and decay formula in this context?

• To calculate interest rates

• To find the future value of a depreciating asset

• To determine the rate of inflation
