Fido did not have fleas when his owners took him to the kennel. The number of fleas on Fido after he returned from the kennel grew according to the equation f = 8(3)ⁿ, where f is the number of fleas and n is the number of weeks since he returned from the kennel. (Fido left the kennel at week 0). How many fleas did Fido pick up at the kennel?

Suppose you deposit $1,000 in a savings account that earns interest of 6% per year on the current balance in the account. Which is the correct equation to model this situation?

• y = 1000(1 + .06)^t
• y = 1000(1 - .06)^t
• y = 1000(1 + 6)^t
• y = 1000(1 - 6)^t

Suppose the acreage of a forest is decreasing by 2% per year because of development. If there are currently 4,500,000 acres of forest, determine the amount of forest land after 5 years.
y = a(1 + r)^t or y = a(1 + r)^t 
Hint: Write equation then replace t with 5.
