Exponential Functions Plug In

What is it about the equation y = 2(9/7)^x that indicates that it is a model for exponential growth?

• The equation is growth because 2 is positive.

• The equation is growth because the factor is positive.

• The equation is growth because the factor is greater than one.

• The equation is growth because the exponent is always positive.

Consider the equation y=200(1.08)^x which models the increase in value of an autographed Annie program. Let y = the value of the item, let x = the number of years since the performance. What does the 1.08 in the equation indicate?

• The value of the item is increasing by $1.08 each year.

• The value of the item is increasing by 1.08% each year.

• The value of the item will increase to $200 1.08 years after purchase.

• The value of the item is increasing by 8% each year.

If you were asked to write an exponential function with an asymptote of y = - 2, what must you include in your equation?

• Subtract 2 from any exponential expression. Ex. y = (4)^x - 2

• Add 2 to any exponential expression. Ex. y = (4)^x + 2

• Raise the expression to the power of -2. Ex. y = x ^-2

• Subtract .02 from 1 to get a decay factor. Ex. y = (1 - .02)^x

When they were first discovered they covered 4 square kilometers. As the population grows, the plants spread and cover more land. How many years will it take for the plants to occupy 400 km²?

• 8 years

• 9 years

• 10 years

• 11 years
