A friend of yours just purchased a painting as an
investment for $15,000.00 and it is supposed to appreciate
at a rate of 4.15% each year. Write an equation for its
value in the future. How much would the painting be
worth in 10 years?

The Final Value is 23,294.54

The Equation for this is shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 15,000( 1 + (4.5 / 1)) ^ (1 x 10)

Meaning 15,000 times 1 plus 4.5 over 1 to the 1 times 10 power

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
