Q. f(x)=10(1.25)x f(x)=10(1.25)^{x} \newlineThe function models f f , the price of a rare trading card in dollars x x years after its initial release in 19931993 . Based on the model, what is the price of the trading card 2020 years after its initial release?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) $15.63 \$ 15.63 \newline(B) $16.39 \$ 16.39 \newline(C) $93.13 \$ 93.13 \newline(D) $867.36 \$ 867.36
  1. Identify function and value: Identify the given function and the value to substitute for xx.\newlineThe function given is f(x)=10(1.25)xf(x) = 10(1.25)^x, and we need to find the price of the trading card 2020 years after its initial release, so we will substitute xx with 2020.
  2. Substitute xx with 2020: Substitute xx with 2020 in the function f(x)=10(1.25)xf(x) = 10(1.25)^x.\newlinef(20)=10(1.25)20f(20) = 10(1.25)^{20}
  3. Calculate (1.25)20(1.25)^{20}: Calculate the value of (1.25)20(1.25)^{20}.(1.25)20=1.2520(1.25)^{20} = 1.25^{20} Using a calculator, we find that 1.2520≈86.7361.25^{20} \approx 86.736
  4. Multiply by 1010: Multiply the result from Step 33 by 1010 to find the price of the trading card.f(20)=10×86.736f(20) = 10 \times 86.736f(20)≈867.36f(20) \approx 867.36
  5. Match with given options: Match the result with the given options.\newlineThe result from Step 44 is $867.36\$867.36, which corresponds to option (D).

Jill bought a used motorcycle from a seller online for $1,200. The seller will charge her $5 a day to store the motorcycle at his house until she is able to pick it up. You can use a function to describe the total amount of money Jill will owe the seller if she waits xx days to pick up the motorcycle.\newlineWrite an equation for the function. If it is linear, write it in the form g(x)=mx+bg(x) = mx + b. If it is exponential, write it in the form g(x)=a(b)xg(x) = a(b)^x.\newlineg(x)=‾g(x) = \underline{\hspace{3em}}
