Product A is increasing because the base 1.03 in the exponential is greater than 1.

The percent increase is (1.03-1)*100\%=0.03*100\%=3\% per year.

For product B, the rate of increase is \frac{10,201}{10,100}=1.01

The percent increase is (1.01-1)*100\%=0.01*100\%=1\% per year.

Product A has a higher percent increase.

Answer:


Product A's price has the greatest percentage in change. 3% increase is more than 1% increase.


Step-by-step explanation:


Part A:


f(x) = 0.69(1.03)x


1 year= 0.69(1.03)1= 0.7107

2 years= 0.69(1.03)2 = 0.732021

3 years= 0.69(1.03)3= 0.75398163  

4 years= 0.69(1.03)4= 0.776601078


The price of product A is increasing every year by 3%.


Part B:


Percent change:


Year 2: 10,201 / 10,100 = 1.01


Year 3: 10,303.01 / 10,201 = 1.01


Year 4: 10,406.04 / 10,303.01 = 1.01


The price for product B has increased by 1% every year.


Product A's price has the greatest percentage in change. 3% increase is more than 1% increase.
