The bear population in a given area is currently 1580. They anticipate the bear population to decrease by 2% each year. Which function represents the population of bears, B, after t years.

• B = 1580(0.02)^t

• B = 1580(1 – 0.02)^t

• B = 1580(1 + 0.02)^t

• B = 1580(1 – 0.2)^t

Marilyn collects old dolls. She purchases a doll for $450. Research shows this doll's value will increase by 2.5% each year. Write an equation that determines the value, V, of the doll t years after purchase.

• V = 450(1 + 0.025)^t

• V = 450(1 – 0.025)^t

• V = 450(1 + 2.5)^t

• V = 450(1 – 2.5)^t
