Several ordered pairs from a continuous exponential function are shown in the table.

On a coordinate plane, an exponential function approaches y = 0 in quadrant 2 and curves up and increases in quadrant 1.

Which is the graph of f(x) = 5(2)x?




Which graph shows exponential growth?




Josiah invests $360 into an account that accrues 3% interest annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, which equation represents the amount of money in Josiah’s account, y, after x years?
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.)
Geraldine is asked to explain the limits on the range of an exponential equation using the function f(x) = 2x. She makes these two statements:1. As x increases infinitely, the y-values are continually doubled for each single increase in x.2. As x decreases infinitely, the y-values are continually halved for each single decrease in x.
A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, which grow at a rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6 days after inoculation?
After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year and an increase of 8% per year, the population is 34,560. Which equation can be used to predict, y, the number of people living in the town after x years? (Round population values to the nearest whole number.)
An account with a $250 balance accrues 2% annually. If no deposits or withdrawals are made, which graph can be used to determine approximately how many years will it take for the balance to be $282?
