Belinda is thinking about buying a car for $45,000. The table below shows the projected value of two different cars for three years. Number of years 1 2 3 Car 1 (value in dollars) 40,500 36,450 32,805 Car 2 (value in dollars) | 42,000 39,000 36,000 Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of each of the cars after a fixed number of years? Explain your answer. (2 points) Part B: Write one function for each car to describe the value of the car f(x), in dollars, after x years. (4 points) Part C: Belinda wants to purchase a car that would have the greatest value in 13 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of either car after 13 years? Explain your answer, and show the value of each car after 13 years. (4 points)

Asays "we are both knaves" and b says nothing. exercises 24–31 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by smullyan [sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. you encounter three people, a, b, and c. you know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. for each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, knight, and spy are. when there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions. 24. a says "c is the knave," b says, "a is the knight," and c says "i am the spy."
