Exponential Functions Quiz

Mr. Cho purchased a CD with an annual interest rate of 4% in 2017, deposited it for 3 years, and in 2020, he extended it under the same interest rate for 5 years until 2025. Which statement describes this situation to calculate the total percent increase in his principal money from 2017 to 2025?

• 1.048 is multiplied to principal because 1.0431.045=1.048

• 1.048 is multiplied to principal because 1.043+1.045=1.048

• 1.0415 is multiplied to principal because 1.0435=1.0415

• 1.0415 is multiplied to principal because 1.0431.045=1.0415

A house purchased for $300,000 in 2010 (15 years ago) has increased its value by 1.5% per year. Choose the correct expression for the value in t years later (t years after 2025). Select all that apply.

• f(t) =300000(1.015)15+t : True (Total time is added to exponent.)

• ft =300000[(1.015)15+(1.015)t] False (Growth factors are multiplied to get the total amount, not added.)

• f(t) =300000[(1.015)15(1.015)t] True (Addition of exponent is equivalent to multiplication of exponents with same bases.)

• f(t) =300000(1.15)15+t : False (% was miscalculated. 1.5 must be 0.015)

• f(t) =3000001.01515t False (You are supposed to put power only on growth factor,)

• Every year, the value of the car is estimated to be down by 9% from the previous year’s value.

• Every year, the value of the car is estimated to be down by 90% from the previous year’s value.

• Every year, the value of the car is estimated to be down by 1% from the previous year’s value.

• Every year, the value of the car is estimated to be down by 10% from the previous year’s value.

Uranium-235 (U-235) is a radioactive isotope of uranium with a half-life of 703.8 million years, and its remaining amount is expressed as the equation f(t) = P(0.5)t/703.8, where P is the initial amount of uranium and t is the number of years. How many years does it take for 200g of Uranium-235 to be reduced to 50g without any addition or subtraction? (round to the nearest whole number)

Find the equivalent expression for (5)x(5)3x ? Select all that apply.

• (5)1/3 False (Division of same bases is subtraction of the exponents, not division.)

• (5)x - 3x True (Division of same bases is subtraction of the exponents.)

• -5x : False (Negative exponent is converted to its positive exponent with the reciprocal base, not negative base.)

• 1(5)x : True (Negative exponent is converted to its positive exponent with the reciprocal base.)

• (5)-x : True (Division of same bases is subtraction of the exponents.)
