Which best describes the graph of the function f(x) = 4(1.5)x?

A
The graph passes through the point (0, 4), and for each increase of 1 in the x-values, the y-values increase by 1.5.
B
The graph passes through the point (0, 4), and for each increase of 1 in the x-values, the y-values increase by a factor of 1.5.
C
The graph passes through the point (0, 1.5), and for each increase of 1 in the x-values, the y-values increase by 4.
D
The graph passes through the point (0, 1.5), and for each increase of 1 in the x-values, the y-values increase by a factor of 4.

A limited-edition poster increases in value each year with an initial value of $18. After 1 year and an increase of 15% per year, the poster is worth $20.70. Which equation can be used to find the value, y, after x years? (Round money values to the nearest penny.)

A
y = 18(1.15)x
B
y = 18(0.15)x
C
y = 20.7(1.15)x
D
y = 20.7(0.15)x

B
The range becomes y > 2.
C
The domain stays the same.
