Step 1 Given that the value of the car depreciates at a constant per year.

That means the decay The decay factor is

Step 2 Given that the initial value is \$22000 That means $a=22000$

And the decay factor$=b=0.88$ So the equation of the function is: $V\left(t\right)=a\left(b{\right)}^{t}$
$V\left(t\right)=22000\left(0.88{\right)}^{t}$

Answer(1): $0.12$

Answer(2): $0.88$

Answer(3): $22000\left(0.88{\right)}^{t}$
