Starter - Exponential Growth and Decay

A population of 1500 deer decreases by 1.5% per year. At the end of 10 years, there will be approximately 1290 deer in the population. Which function can be used to determine the number of deer, y, in this population at the end of t years?

• y = 1500(1 - 0.015)^t
• y = 1500(0.015)^t
• y = 1500(1 + 0.015)^t
• y = 1500(1.5)^t

There were 417 cell phones sold at an electronics store in January. Since then, cell phone sales at this store have increased at a rate of 3.75% per month. At this rate of growth, which function can be used to determine the monthly cell phone sales x months after January?

• f(x) = 417(3.75)^x
• f(x) = 417(0.0375)^x
• f(x) = 417(1.0375)^x
• f(x) = 417(1.375)^x
