The value of John's baseball card collection decreases exponentially over time, and the value of his silver collection increases
exponentially over time. If the value of John's two collections combined t years from now is given by the function V = 500(1.05)2t + 600(0.95)t, which statement must be true?
The x^2 over the x is like subtracting x from x^2, so the new equation would be 9-x/-3. You divide 9 by -3 to get the final answer of -3-x, or -x-3, which is E.
