Graphing Depreciation: Using Exponential Decay Functions

The video tutorial explains how car value depreciates over time, focusing on Rama's car, which loses 11% of its value immediately and 15% annually for five years. It introduces exponential decay functions, clarifies common misunderstandings about percentage loss, and demonstrates how to calculate and graph depreciation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding exponential functions and constructing a graph to visualize depreciation over time.
