    Step-by-step explanation:

    first year it loses 210

    750×.28=210

    second year phone value is 540

    Answer:

    Initial costs 750 and loses .28 of value each year, so still worth 1-.28=.72 of value at start of next year. 750*(.72)^n is the value after n years since for n=0, new, it is 750*.72^0=750*1=750, and after 1 year it is worth 750*.72^1=750*.72 means it lost 28% value after one year. If you with to express it as an exponential exp(..) you need to convert the .72^n into exp(log(.72)*n)=exp(-.3285*n) so you get

    750*exp(-.3285*n) as the value after n years.
