Jimmy purchased a rare coin for $350. It will appreciate (increase) in value by about 6% each year. Write the equation that represents this.

• f(x)=350(0.06)^x

• f(x)=0.06(350)^x

• f(x)=350(1 - 0.06)^x

• f(x)=350(1 + 0.06)^x

Luke purchased a car for $18,500. It will depreciate (decrease in value) 16% each year. Write an equation to represent the scenario.

• f(x)= 18,500 (1 + 0.16)^x

• f(x)= 0.16 (18,500)^x

• f(x)= 18,500 (1 - 0.16)^x

• f(x)= 0.84 (18,500)^x
