Terrence buys a new car for $20,000. The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year. If f(x) represents the value of the car after x years, which function represents the car’s value?

f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x

f(x) = 20,000(0.15)x

f(x) = 20,000(1.15)x

f(x) = 20,000(1.85)x

Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. When she began her study, the frog population was estimated at 1,200. Which function represents the frog population after x years?

f(x) = 1,200(1.03)x

f(x) = 1,200(0.03)x

f(x) = 1,200(0.97)x

f(x) = 1,200(0.97)x

A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before treatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?

f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0
