Consider the equation y=200(1.08)^x which models the increase in value of an autographed Annie program. Let y = the value of the item, let x = the number of years since the performance. What does the 1.08 in the equation indicate?

• The value of the item is increasing by $1.08 each year.

• The value of the item is increasing by 1.08% each year.

• The value of the item will increase to $200 1.08 years after purchase.

• The value of the item is increasing by 8% each year.

A population of mutant venus fly trap plants are taking over an island in the South Pacific, capturing everything from insects to small rodents. When they were first discovered they covered 4 square kilometers. As the population grows, the plants spread and cover more land. Use the table to write an equation.

• y=4(4)^x

• y=4(2.68)^x

• y=4(1+1.67)^x

• y=4(1.67)^x
