Assuming the growth rate remains the same, which type of function could he create to find the value of his investment 30 years from his original purchase?

• exponential function

• geometric sequence

• quadratic function

• trigonometric function

Marilyn collects old dolls. She purchases a doll for $450. Research shows this doll's value will increase by 2.5% each year. Write an equation that determines the value, V, of the doll t years after purchase.

• V(t) = 450 (1 + 0.025)^t

• V(t) = 450 (1 - 0.025)^t

• V(t) = 450 (1 + 2.5)^t

• V(t) = 450 (1 - 2.5)^t

A student invests $500 for x years in a savings account that earns 4% interest per year. No further deposits or withdrawals are made during this time. Write an function f(x) to represent the amount of money earned after x years.

• f(x) = 500 (.60)^x

• f(x) = 500 (.96)^x

• f(x) = 500 (1.04)^x

• f(x) = 500 (1.4)^x

A car was purchased for $25,000. Research shows that the car has an average yearly depreciation rate of 18.5%. Create a function that will determine the value, V(t), of the car t years after purchase.

• V(t) = 25000(1 - 0.185)^t

• V(t) = 25000(1 + 0.185)^t

• V(t) = 25000(1 - 18.5)^t

• V(t) = 25000(1 + 18.5)^t
