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) = 12500(0.82)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) 5600 3136 1756.16 983.45 Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year?

\[((y2-y1)/y1)*100\] is the formula we are going to use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tables are set up in xy form where top represents x bottom represents y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[((3136-5600)/5600)*100\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[((-2464)/5600)*100\] \[-0.44*100\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you finish from there :)
