1. A decrease of 3.8% is equivalent to a multiplier fraction of -0.038. The only answer choice that has such a multiplier is A.
In an instance such as this, the "rate" is usually some (fractional) change in some period of time. Since the exponent must be unitless, the rate is effectively (some fraction) "per year" so that multiplying by "t" years cancels the units and results in a pure number.
___
<em>Comment on the exponential</em>
If the actual change were -3.8% per year, the exponential term would look like (1 - 0.038)^t = 0.962^t. By writing it as e^(-0.038t), the decrease is effectively compounded continuously. As a result, over a year's time, the decrease is actually about 3.73%, not 3.8%.

2. If ║x/2║ is a magnitude function, answer choices B and D are equivalent. Thus, we must assume it is a "greatest integer" function. Then the number of desserts prepared will be ║x/2║, and the corresponding revenue will be 1.2║x/2║. Since x is in minutes, 2 to 4 hours will be 120–240 minutes. The appropriate choice is B.
If we imagine it in our head, we can see that the width (base) is 2 and the height is 9
the area is 1/2bh or 1/2*2=9 square units
it is rotated around x axis
meaning we have a sideways cone that is 2 hight and radius is 9
Vcone=1/3(hpir^2)
h=2
r=9
V=(1/3)(2)(3.141592)(9^2)
V=(2/3)(3.141592)(81)
V=(54)(3.141592)
V=169.6459
round
V=169.6 cubic units
base is 2 units
height is 9 units
area is 9 square units
it's a cone (sideways)
it has a volume of 169.6 cubic units
