    2. Mari deposited $2000 into an investment with a guaranteed APY of 3.5% each year.  Let \(t\) be the number of years for the investment and let \(f(t)\) be the value of the investment.  Find the exponential function that models the value of their investment, then use the function to find the value after 4 years.
    3. The value of a houses in a city are increasing at a continuous growth rate of 7.2% per year.  For a house that currently costs $350,000, find the exponential function that models the value of the house.  Then use the function to find the value after 10 years.
    4. The value of a new vehicle depreciates at a continuous growth rate of 19% per year.  Daniel purchased a new truck for $54,000.  Find the exponential function that models the value of the truck.  Then use the function to find the value of his truck after 8 years.

    Graphs and Properties of Exponential Growth and Decay Functions (5.2)

    1. A new machine was purchased for $125,000 in the year 2016.  Its value has been decreasing at a continuous rate of 5% each year.  Find the exponential function that models the value of the machine.  Then identify the y-intercept of the graph of the function.  What does the y-intercept represent?
    2. Consider the graphs shown below. 
      1. Using the form \(f(x)=ab^{x}\), which two functions have the same value of \(a\)?
      2. Using the form \(f(x)=ab^{x}\), which of the four functions has the largest value of \(a\)?
      3. Using the form \(f(x)=ab^{x}\), which of the four functions has the largest value of \(b\)?
      4. Using the form \(f(x)=ab^{x}\), which of the four functions has the smallest value of \(b\)?

    3. \(h(x) = \ln(x)\)

    Applications of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions (5.5)

    1. The value of a new boat depreciates after it is purchased. The value of the boat 7 years after it was purchased is $25,000 and its value has been decreasing at the rate of 8.2% per year.
      1. Find the initial value of the boat when it was purchased.
      2. How many years after it was purchased will the boat’s value be $20,000?
      3. What was its value 3 years after the boat was purchased?
    2. Tony invested $40,000 in 2010; unfortunately his investment has been losing value at the rate of 2.7% per year.
      1. Write the function that gives the value of the investment as a function of time \(t\) in years after 2010.
      2. Find the value of the investment in 2020, if its value continues to decrease at this rate.
      3. In what year will the investment be worth half its original value?
    3. Rosa invested $25,000 in 2005; its value has been increasing at the rate of 6.4% annually.
      1. Write the function that gives the value of the investment as a function of time \(t\) in years after 2005.
      2. Find the value of the investment in 2025.
    4. The population of a city is increasing at the rate of 3.2% per year, since the year 2000. Its population in 2015 was 235,000 people.
      1. Find the population of the city in the year 2000.
      2. In what year with the population be 250, 000 if it continues to grow at this rate.
