Exponential Functions Application Problems

The value of a car is $15,000 and depreciates at a rate of 8% per year. What is the exponential equation?

• y=8(15,000)^x

• y=15,000(0.92)^x

• y=15,000(1.08)^x

• y=15,000(0.08)^x

Suppose a culture of bacteria begins with 5000 cells and dies by 30% each year. Write an equation that represents this situation.

• y=5000(0.7)^x

• y=5000(1.3)^x

• y=30(5000)^x

• y=5000x^x

The population of Boringtown decreased annually by 1.8% between the year 2015-2018. In 2015, there were approximately 200,000 people living in Boringtown. Which function models the city's population since 2015?

• f(x) = 200,000(1 + 0.018)³

• f(x) = 200,000(1 - 0.18)³

• f(x) = 200,000(1 + 0.18)³

• f(x) = 200,000(1 - 0.018)³

This question will be answered by the person whose first name comes first alphabetically. A student purchased a bike 3 years ago. The value of the bike decreased at a constant percent rate. After 1 year the value of the bike had decreased to $1,080. After 2 years, the value was $972. What exponential function models the value of the bike? Hint: Make a table of values and then find an equation that matches it.
