The number of research papers in Professor Sycamore area of expertise has been increasing by 5% every year. Given that 30,010 research papers were published this year. Assuming the trend continues, which equation projects the amount of research papers published in x years?

• y = 30,010 (.05)^x

• y = 30,010 (1.05)^x

• y = 30,010 (.95)^x

• y = 30,010 (5)^x

Due to its weakening steel industry, Canalave Town has been experiencing a population decline of 10% every year. The current population is 74,000 people. Assuming the trend continues, which equation projects the population in x years?

• y = 74,000 (0.10)^x

• y = 74,000 (0.90)^x

• y = 74,000 (1.10)^x

• y = 74,000 (1.90)^x

A sculpture is increasing in value at a rate of 9% per year, and its value in 2000 was $1500. Write an exponential growth function to model this situation.

• f(t)=1500(1.09)^t

• f(t)=1500(0.09)^t

• f(t)=2000(0.09)^t

• f(t)=1500(9)^t

Most automobiles depreciate as they get older. Suppose an automobile that originally costs $14,000 depreciates by 20% of its value every year. 
What exponential equation can we create to model this situation?

• y=14000(.20)^x

• y=14000(.80)^x

• y=14000(1+.20)^x

• y=14000(1+.80)^x
