The value of an autographed baseball from 2017 is $300. The value of the baseball exponentially increases by 5% each year after
2017. Write a one-variable inequality that could be used to solve for the number of years, x, it would take for the baseball to be worth at least $650. Do not use any dollar signs in the inequality. Write the inequality in standard form.
General exponential equation y = A(1+r)^x where A = initial value r = rate increase (+) or decrease (-) x = time period of the change y = projected value
y = 300(1.05)^x in this problem, x = years after 2017 we want to find an x that makes the value more than or equal to 650
