Determine if the equation y = 15(1.35)^x represents exponential growth or decay and justify. Hint: Think about the growth and decay equations.

• Growth, because the scale factor is greater than 1

• Growth, because the scale factor is less than 1

• Decay, because the scale factor is greater than 1

• Decay, because the scale factor is less than 1

Write an exponential function to model the situation. Then solve. The value of a car is $18000 and is depreciating at a rate of 12% per year. What will the value of the car be after 10 years?

• V(t) = 18000(.88)^t ; $12986.98

• V(t) = 18000(.12)^t ; $12986.98

• V(t) = 18000(.88)^t ; $5013.02

• V(t) = 18000(.12)^t ; $5013.02
