Use the table to answer the question.

To find the value of the car after 5 years using the function \( f(x) = 35,000 \times (0.85)^x \), we will substitute \( x = 5 \) into the function.

Calculating \( f(5) \):

\[ f(5) = 35,000 \times (0.85)^5 \]

First, calculate \( (0.85)^5 \):

\[ (0.85)^5 \approx 0.443705 \]

Now multiply this value by 35,000:

\[ f(5) = 35,000 \times 0.443705 \approx 15529.775 \]

Rounding this value to the nearest cent gives:

\[ f(5) \approx 15,529.78 \]

Thus, rounded to the nearest cent, after 5 years, the value of the car will equal $15,529.78.
