The population of Cary, NC in the year 2000 was 97,400 people. The population steadily grew by 2.5% each year. Which function relates to the situation? Let Population (P) be a function of time (t)

• P(t)=97400+2.5t

• P(t)=97400(2.5)^t

• P(t)=97400(1.25)^t

• P(t)=97400(1.025)^t

Function A is linear and starts with $1000 and increases by $100 each day y=100x+1000 Function B is exponential and begins with $20 but doubles each day y = 20(2)^x On which interval (domain) does Function B exceed Function A?

• (0,1635.34)

• (0,6.353)

Which statement below describes the comparison of the linear function f(x) and the exponential function g(x)?

• The value of g(x) is always greater than the value of f(x).

• The value of g(x) is never greater than the value of f(x).

• The value of g(x) will eventually exceed the value of f(x).

• There is not enough information to compare the value of f(x) to the value of g(x).

A lottery winner must choose between g(x) and h(x) for the distribution of winnings. Each month the distribution increases as shown in the tables. If the payout will last two years, which plan should the winner choose and why?

• The winner should choose g(x) because the table starts with thousands.

• The winner should choose h(x) because it will eventually yield more money.

• g(x) will eventually yield more money than h(x).
