Casey recently purchased a sedan and a pickup truck at about the same time for a new business. The value of the sedan S, in dollars, as a function of the number of years t after the purchase can be represented by the equation S(t)=24,400(0.82)^t. The equation P(t)=35,900(0.71)^t/2 represents the value of the pickup truck P, in dollars, t years after the purchase. Analyze the functions S(t) and P(t) to interpret the parameters of each function, including the coefficient and the base. Then use the interpretations to make a comparison on how the value of the sedan and the value of the pickup truck change over time.

The height of a birch tree, f(x), in inches, after x months is shown in the graph below. how much does the birch tree grow per month, and what will be the height of the birch tree after 10 months? a. the birch tree grows 1 inch per month. the height of the birch tree will be 16 inches after 10 months. b. the birch tree grows 2 inches per month. the height of the birch tree will be 26 inches after 10 months. c. the birch tree grows 3 inches per month. the height of the birch tree will be 36 inches after 10 months. d. the birch tree grows 2 inches per month. the height of the birch tree will be 24 inches after 10 months.
