Given:

The value of home in 2011 is $95,000.

The value of home in 2018 is $105,000.

To find:

The exponential model for the value of the home.

Solution:

The general exponential model is

y=ab^x       ...(i)

where, a is initial value and b is growth factor.

Let 2011 is initial year and x be the number of years after 2011.

So, initial value of home is 95,000, i.e., a=95,000.

Put a=95000 in (i).

y=95000b^x       ...(ii)

The value of home in 2018 is $105,000. It means the value of y is 105000 at x=7.

105000=95000b^7

\dfrac{105000}{95000}=b^7

\dfrac{21}{19}=b^7

Taking 7th root on both sides, we get

\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}=b

Put b=\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}} in (ii).

y=95000\left(\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}\right)^x

y=95000\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{x}{7}}

Therefore, the required exponential model for the value of home is y=95000\left(\dfrac{21}{19}\right)^{\frac{x}{7}}, where x is the number of years after 2011.

Nitella [24]
Start by going in the order of decimals and what ever you end at, put this number on top
142857/<span>100000
And then you simplify it to the smallest numbers and you have your answer. It can't be simplified so it is just:
