Exponential Functions

Suppose a culture of bacteria begins with 5000 cells and dies by 30% each year. Write an equation that represents this situation.

• y=5000(0.7)^x
• y=30(5000)^x
• y=5000(1.3)^x
• y=5000x^x

The value of a painting is $12,000 in 1990 and increases by 8% of its value each year.  Write and evaluate an expression to estimate the paintings value in 2005.

• 1.08(12,000)^t = $36,000
• 12,000(1.08)^t = $38, 066
• 12,000(0.5)^t = $10,000
• 12,000(0.92)^t = $40,000
