Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at where -2 is on the x-axis (the left side of the horizontal line), and go another half a box in, that is -2.5. But then go down one box from there, and plot the point. that is (-2.5,-1).
Next go half a box to the right and two boxes up, and plot your point there. that is (.5,2).
Answer: $13,846.02
Step-by-step explanation:
The car cost $29,750 when it was first bought.
It will then depreciate at a rate of 12% per year. This means that the value of the car reduces by 12% per year.
To find the value of the car in the 6th year, you can use the compound interest formula:
= Value of car * ( 1 - rate) ^ no. of years
= 29,750 * ( 1 - 12%)⁶
= 13,816.021581824
= $13,846.02
Since the variable x is at the exponent, this is an exponential function.
To decide whether an exponential function is a growing or decaying one, we have to look at the base of the exponent.
If the base is between 0 and 1, we have exponential decay
If the base is larger than 1, we have exponential growth.
In your case the base is 3, which is larger than 1, so you have exponential growth.
Thus, <u>option d</u> is your answer
