The average price for a 12 pack of soda is $ Suppose the average annual rate of inflation is 3.2%. Answer the following.
Bellwork:
a) Write an equation V(t) for the value of the 12 pack after t years.
V(t) = 3.99(1.032)t +2
b) What is the expected price of the pack in 6 years?
V(6) = 3.99(1.032)6 +1
The price will be about $4.82 in 6 years.
V(6) ≈ $4.82 +2
c) What was the price of the soda 7 years ago? (Hint: think negative exponents)
The price was about $3.20 seven years ago.
V(–7) = 3.99(1.032)–7 +1
V(–7) ≈ $3.20
total: +2

When a radioactive isotope undergoes decay, it does so at a fixed rate. The time it takes for half of its decay is called the “half-life.” For example, if a substance has a half-life of ten years, and you start with 100 grams of it, after ten years you will have only 50 grams. In another 10 years, half of the 50 grams will decay, and so on.

d) How much will be left after 25 years?
Let x = # of decades
≈ g
There will be about grams left after 25 years.
e) When will the isotope disappear completely?
The isotope will never disappear completely.
f) Explain why you think most states will not allow radioactive materials to be dumped inside their borders.
Radioactive material never disappears.

8. a) What is the multiplier?

Suppose a videotape loses 60% of its value every year it is in a video store. The initial value of the videotape was $80.
a) What is the multiplier?
100% – 60% =
40% =
0.40
b) What is the value of the video after one year?
V(1) = 80 (0.40)1
The video will be worth $32 in one year.
V(1) = $32
c) What will the value be after four years?
V(4) = 80 (0.40)4
The video will be worth about $2.05 in four years.
V(4)  $2.05
d) Write a function V(t) to represent the value in t years.
V(t) = 80 (0.40)t
e) When does the video have no value?
The video will always have a value, albeit, a very small value in the years to come.
