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(1.08)^x
• y=15,000(0.92)^x
• y=15,000(0.08)^x

An air freshener starts with 30 grams of fluid, and the amount of fluid decreases by 12% per day. Express the amount of grams of freshener, Q, that remains, t, days after it has begun being used.

Check the BEST answer: (HINT: that means simplify what is in the parenthesis)

• Q=30(1+0.12)^t

• Q=30(1-0.12)^t

• Q=30(0.88)^t

• Q=12(1.30)^t
