question
Terrence buys a new car for $20,000. The value of the car depreciates by 15% each year. If f(x) represents the value of the car after x years, which function represents the car's value?
answer
a f(x) = 20,000(0.85)x

question
Which are true of the function f(x) = 49(1/7)x? Check all that apply.
answer
- The domain is the set of all real numbers. - The range is y > 0. - As x increases by 1, each y-value is one-seventh of the previous y-value.
question
Two exponential functions are shown in the table. https://media.education2020.com/evresources/3109/3109-07/3109-07-02/3109-07-02-assessment/3109-07-02-24.png Which conclusion about f(x) and g(x) can be drawn from the table?
answer
