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>
