Answer:

5. f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.

Let's test it.

Initial:

10,000

After 1 year

10,000 + (.5*10000)

10,000 + 5000 = 15,000

After 2 years

15,000 + (.5*15000)

15,000 + 7500 = 22,500

Let's try our equation.

f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x

x = 2

10,000(1.5)^2

10,000(2.25) = 22,500

The same!
