Exponential Functions and Graphs

A new IPhone costs $799 and is estimated to lose 25% of its value every six months after its purchase.

What is the value of the phone after 2 years?

Write an exponential function to model the situation. Then solve.

The cost of tuition at a college is $12,000 and is increasing at a rate of 6% per year. Which equations represents this situation?

• C(t) = 1.06(12000)^t

• C(t) = 12000(.06)^t

• C(t) = 12000(.06)^t

• C(t) = 12000(1.06)^t

Write an exponential function to model the situation. The value of a car is $18000 and is depreciating at a rate of 12% per year.

• V(t) = .88(18000)^t

• V(t) = .12(18000)^t

• V(t) = 18000(.88)^t

• V(t) = 18000(.12)^t
