A pattern of dots grows exponentially. The table shows the number of dots at each step of the
pattern.
step number 012 3
number of dots 15 25 125
1. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the step number, n, and the
number of dots, y.
2. At one step, there are 9,765,625 dots in the pattern. At what step number will that happen?
Explain how you know.
You buy a new car that cost $25,000. The car depreciates at a rate of 11% per year.Write an equation to represent the exponential function of the scenario. Also identify the following: a) Independent variable b) Dependent variable c) Domain d) Range e) Starting point f) Growth/decay rate 3. Create a table to represent the exponential function. The table will have the year in the left column and the value for that year in the right column. Years 1, 5, and 10 must be included with 10 the maximum year. Including all 10 years will make it easier to plot the graph 4. List the growth or decay rate which is given in the problem you select. Is it a positive or negative rate? 5. Your equation will have two letters which are the variables. Which is the independent variable? This is the one you specify to determine the value of the other variable which is the dependent variable? 6. You will start your graph where it crosses the vertical axis which will be the value for year 0. What is that value…
The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 12% per year. State weather this decrease is linear or exponential. If the component cost 90$ today, what will it cost in three years?
