the mendez family just bought a home for 180,000 if the value of the home increases at a rate of 3% per year, use an exponential function to find the approximate value of the home after 10 years
Added by Shawn W.
Step 1
In this case, the initial amount (a) is the price of the home, which is $180,000. The growth factor (b) is 1 plus the rate of increase, which is 1 + 0.03 = 1.03. The time (x) is 10 years. So, the exponential function that represents the value of the home over Show more…

A house is valued at $120,000 and increases in value by 5% each year. The value, y, of the house after x years is defined by y(x) = 120,000(1.05)^x. What is the approximate value of the house after 15 years?

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.

If the inflation rate is $3.5 \%$ per year and the average price of a home is 195,000 dollars, the average price of a home after $n$ years is given by $A_{n}=195,000(1.035)^{n} .$ Find the average price of the home after 6 years.
