WILL MARK THE BRAINLIEST HELP The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price of two products, A and B, over time. The price f(x), in dollars, of product A after x years is represented by the function below: f(x) = 12500(0.82)x Part A: Is the price of product A increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per year? Justify your answer. (5 points) Part B: The table below shows the price f(t), in dollars, of product B after t years: t (number of years) 1 2 3 4 f(t) (price in dollars) 5600 3136 1756.16 983.45 Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year? Justify your answer. (5 points)

(A) The price of product A is increasing by 3% per year.

(B) The product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

The function representing the price, in dollars, of product A after x years is:

The function can be written as:

The function is similar to the exponential growth function, .

Here r is the growth rate.

Thus, it can be said that the price of product A is increasing by 3% per year.

(B)

Consider the data of product B for the year 3 and 4.

The price of product B for year 3 and 4 are 10,303.01 and 10,406.04.

Compute the percent price change from year 3 to 4 as follows:

The price of product B is increasing by 1% per year.

Thus, the product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~

can you complete your sentence? i could !
