Initial value: 3

Point on the graph: (2, 6)

Growth

A shipping company started with 40 employees. The number of employees in the shipping company increases at a rate of 7.5% each year. What function can be used to model the number of employees, f(x), in the shipping company after x years?

There were 417 cell phones sold at an electronics store in January. Since then, cell phone sales at this store have increased at a rate of 3.75% per month. At this rate of growth, which function can be used to determine the monthly cell phone sales x months after January?

The function shown is a(n)​ (a)   function.

This function shows ​ (b)   because the graph is decreasing.

The horizontal asymptote is at ​ (c)  

• exponential

• decay

• y=-1

• linear

• x=-1

• growth
