A house that costs $200,000 will appreciate in value by 3% each year. Write a function that models the cost of the house over time. Use x for years, and y for the value of the house, in dollars. Find the value of the house at the end of ten years.

Consider the following information: If a house was purchased for 105,000 dollar and is expected to appreciate 900 dollar per year, its value $y$ after $x$ years is given by the formula $y=900 x+105,000 .$ A second house was purchased for 8120,000 and was expected to appreciate 1,000 dollar per year. Find a polynomial equation that will give the value of the house in $x$ years.

Suppose an investor buys land in a rural area for $\$ 1500$ an acre and sells some of it 5 years later at $\$ 3000$ an acre and the rest of it 10 years later at $\$ 6000 .$ Write a function that models the value of land in that area, assuming the growth rate stays the same. What would the expected cost per acre be 30 years after the initial investment of $\$ 1500 ?$
