The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Derek is studying the change in the price

of two products, A and B, over time. The price f(x), in dollars, of product A after x years is represented by the function below: f(x) = 0.69(1.03)x
Part A: Is the price of product A increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Part B: The table below shows the price f(t), in dollars, of product B after t years: t (number of years) 1 2 3 4 f(t) (price in dollars) 10,100 10,201 10,303.01 10,406.04 Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year? Justify your answer.

Part A.

1) Function given:

f(x)=0.69(1.03)^x

2) Interpretation:

initial value: => x = 0 => f(x) = 0.69

table:

x                f(x)
year          price

0              0.69

1             0.69 * 1.03 = 0.7107 => increase = 3%

2             0.69 * (1.03)^2 = 0.732021 => increase = 3%

So, the answer is that the function is increasing at 3% per year.

Part B.

3) table

<span> t (number of years)      1             2              3                  4
f(t) (price in dollars)     10,100    10,201     10,303.01   10,406.04

Percent change:

Year 2: 10,201 / 10,100 = 1.01 => 1% increase

Year 3: 10,303.01 / 10,201 = 1.01 => 1% increase

Year 4: 10,406.04 / 10,303.01 = 1.01 => 1% increase.

Answer: the </span><span>product of the part A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year (3% vs 1%).</span>

Someone who knows the remainder theorem help!​
Damm [24]

Answer:

○ D. Yes, x = 12 is a zero of the polynomial.

The quotient is x + 22, and the remainder is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a second thought, I knew something similar to that theorem because factoring them would determine if it has a remainder:

[x - 12][x + 22]

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
