The value of a car depreciates exponentially. Identify the decay factor is the car was worth $20,000 initially and worth $15,000 after 1 year.

• 1.33

• 0.75

• 0.66

• 0.25

• Because the 25 was bigger than one

• Because the 0.20 was bigger than one

• Because the 25 was less than one

• Because the 0.20 was less than one

The original value of a painting is $1400, and the value increases by 9% each year. Write an exponential growth function to model this situation.

• y=1400(1.09)^x

• y=1.09(1400)^x

• y=1400(.91)^x

• y=1.09^x
