Question

y = 142(1.23)x

a) What is the initial value?

b) Is this an exponential growth or an exponential decay problem?

c) What is the growth/decay rate?

d) How much does the initial value grow to after 8 years?

Answer 1

SQUAWW 1738

Answer 2

the x is an exponent right?
\[\large y = 142*1.23^x\]

Answer 3

initial value --- the start when x=0, anything raised to zero is 1

Answer 4

general form for this exponential form may look like

y = A*b^x

what are you stuck on?
