Growth and Decay Solve for Time

You make a $10,000 investment that has historically doubled every 7 years.

Calculate the value of your investments after 12 years.

(Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Include punctuation as needed.)

Charlotte has $15,000 to invest and would like this investment to grow to $28,000. If the growth factor is 1.06, how many years will it take to reach her goal? Use guess and check to find an approximate answer. (Answer should be a whole number.)

You put $100 in a savings account that earns 1% interest every year.

Identify if it is a linear or exponential function and if it shows growth or decay and by how much.

• Exponential

  Growth

  1%/year

• Exponential

  Decay

  1%/year

• Linear

  Growth

  1%/year

• Linear

  Decay

  1%/year

If y = a(B)^x is a growth then...

• the base is greater than 1

• the base is less than 1

• the initial value is greater than 1

• the initial value is less than 1
