The original value of a painting is $1400, and the value increases by 9% each year. Write an exponential growth function to model this situation.

• y=1400(1.09)^x

• y=1.09(1400)^x

• y=1400(.91)^x

• y=1400+1.09^x

Which of the following functions shows an initial amount of $15 and an increase of 35% each year?

• y = 15(.35)^x

• y = 15(0.65)^x

• y = 35(1.15)^x

Classify the model as Exponential GROWTH or DECAY.
