The value of a certain collectible card in dollars from January 2020 to May 2021 can be modeled by the function V(m) = 250m^2 - 3500m + 18000, where m is the approximate number of months since the start of 2020. Over what period was the value of the card declining?

A baseball card increases in value according to the function, b(t) = (5/2)t + 100, where b(t) gives the value of the card in dollars and t is the time (in years) since the card was purchased. Which of the following describes what (5/2) conveys about the situation? I. The card's value increases by $5 every two years. II. Every year the card's value is 2.5 times greater than the previous year. III. The card's value increases by (5/2) dollars every year.

A baseball card sold for $219 in 1978 and was sold again in 1985 for $493. Assume that the growth in the value V of the collector's item was exponential. a) Find the value K of the exponential growth rate. Assume V0 = 219. k = ? (round to the nearest thousandth.)
