Exponential Function Review

Pick the equation that is exponential decay

• y=2000(0.88)
• y=0.5(1.88)

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

• y = 15(35)^x
• y = 15(1.35)^x
• y = 15(0.35)^x
• y = 35(1.15)^x

Write an equation that models the following situation:
Samantha's hair was known to grow very rapidly. It began at a length of 6 in and grew at a rate of 14% a week.

• y=6(0.14)^x
• y=6(1+14)^x
• y=6(1.14)^x
• y=6(0.86)^x

Identify the initial value:

y = 6.87 (4)^x

• a = 4

• a = 6.87

• a = 3

• a = 1

• f(x)=400(0.03)^x

A new savings account is opened with $1500 and gains 1.5% annual interest. What is the exponential function?

• f(x)=1500(1+1.5)^x

• f(x)=1500(1+0.015)^x

• f(x)=1500(1.00375)^x

• f(x)=1500(1.5)^x

The value of a car is $15,000 and depreciates at a rate of 8% per year. What is the exponential equation?
