P Help Will Mark Brainlest but must explain what you did in 20 minutes 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) = 72(1.25)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) 65 84.5 109.85 142.81

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:

FA(x)=0.69*(1.03)x

The function  FA(x)can be written as:

FA(x)=0.69*1+(0.03)x

The function FA(x) is similar to the exponential growth function, y=a(1+r)x .

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:

10406.04-10303.01/10303.01*100

which is 0.999%

~1%

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.
