The first year in her apartment, sheena paid $600 a month in rent. each year after that, her rent was raised 10% over her previous year's rent. which of the following lists sheena's monthly rent for each of the first five years?

So for this we will be using an exponential equation to help us find the values.

Since $600 was the initial rent value, 600 is the a variable.

And since the rent is increasing by 10%, add 0.1 (10% in decimal form) to 1, which the sum is 1.1. 1.1 is your b variable.

Putting our equation together, it's , and since time is the independent variable you plug in the numbers into the x variable to solve (x = # of years after the initial year.)

here's a poem i finished a while ago. i hope you like it and that it inspires you.
