A new savings account is opened with $400 and gains 3% every year. What is the exponential function?

• f(x)=400(1+3)^x
• f(x)=400(1-0.03)^x

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=1.09^x
