The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price of two products, A and B, over time. The price f(x), in dollars, of product A after x years is represented by the function below: f(x) = 0.69(1.03)x Part A: Is the price of product A increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Part B: The table below shows the price f(t), in dollars, of product B after t years:

t (number of years)1234
f(t) (price in dollars)10,10010,20110,303.0110,406 .04

Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

(A) The price of product A is increasing by 3% per year.

(B) The product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

The function representing the price, in dollars, of product A after x years is:

The function can be written as:

The function is similar to the exponential growth function, .

Here r is the growth rate.

Thus, it can be said that the price of product A is increasing by 3% per year.

(B)

Consider the data of product B for the year 3 and 4.

The price of product B for year 3 and 4 are 10,303.01 and 10,406.04.

Compute the percent price change from year 3 to 4 as follows:

The price of product B is increasing by 1% per year.

Thus, the product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.
