The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

of two products, A and B, over time.
The price f(x), in dollars, of product A after x years is represented by the function below:

f(x) = 0.69(1.03)x

Part A: Is the price of product A increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Part B: The table below shows the price f(t), in dollars, of product B after t years:


t (number of years) 1 2 3 4
f(t) (price in dollars) 10,100 10,201 10,303.01 10,406.04


Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Answer:

A)  3%

B)  Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Function</u>

General form of an exponential function: y=ab^x

where:

  • a is the initial value (y-intercept)
  • b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
  • x is the independent variable
  • y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

<u>Part A</u>

<u>Product A</u>

Assuming the function for Product A is <u>exponential</u>:

f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x

The base (b) is 1.03.  As b > 1 then it is an <u>increasing function</u>.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, <u>product A is increasing by 3% each year.</u>

<u>Part B</u>

\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, <u>Product A recorded a greater percentage change</u> in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

  • a = 10,100
  • b = 1.01
  • n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100

\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201

\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01

\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that <u>Product B increases by 1% per year.</u>

Helpppppp plsss!!!!!!graph it on your paper​ will give brainliest
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

graph y = -3/2x - 2

x Intercept:  0 = -3/2x -2

               3/2x = -2

                    x = <u>-2 (2)</u>

                            3

                    x = -4/3

                   (-4/3,  0)

y intercept: (0, -2)

1.The diameter of a circle is 20m. Find the circumference to the nearest tenth
Temka [501]

Answer:

62.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is 2(pi)r

Let's plug in the values.

Well, we know the diameter, and since the radius is 1/2 the diameter, but then you multiply by 2 again, you don't have to change anything. Therefore, another formula is (pi)<em>d</em>

3.14 x 20

= 62.8 is your answer. And the answer is already rounded to the nearest tenth, so nothing is left to do!

<em>Hope this helps!</em>
