Answer:

  • multiplier 1.125
  • percent rate 12.5%
  • p(t) = 108·1.125^t
  • p(7) = $246.32
  • p(-3) = $75.85

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The daily multiplier is 108/96 = 1.125

b) The daily percentage change is 1.125 -1 = .125 = 12.5%

c) The function can be written as ...

  price = (initial value)·(daily multiplier)^t

  p = 108·1.125^t

d) for t=7, put the number in and do the arithmetic.

  108·1.125^7 ≈ 246.32 . . . dollar cost in a week

e) same deal, for t=-3

  108·1.125^-3 ≈ 75.85 . . . .dollar cost 3 days ago
