1. QuestionMultiple choice

A growth factor of 1.05 represents what percent change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A 5% increase.

  1. Identify the exponential or logarithmic structure: Determine the base, exponent, logarithm, growth factor, decay factor, or graph feature involved.
  2. Apply the relationship: The growth rate is 1.05 - 1 = 0.05, which is a 5% increase.
  3. Check the result: The correct answer is A 5% increase.

The growth rate is 1.05 - 1 = 0.05, which is a 5% increase.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is A 20% decrease.

  1. Identify the exponential or logarithmic structure: Determine the base, exponent, logarithm, growth factor, decay factor, or graph feature involved.
  2. Apply the relationship: The decrease is 1 - 0.80 = 0.20, or 20%.
  3. Check the result: The correct answer is A 20% decrease.

The decrease is 1 - 0.80 = 0.20, or 20%.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Approximately what is 200(1.03)2200(1.03)^2?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 212.18.

  1. Identify the exponential or logarithmic structure: Determine the base, exponent, logarithm, growth factor, decay factor, or graph feature involved.

  3. Check the result: The correct answer is 212.18.

Compute 200(1.03)^2 = 200(1.0609) = 212.18.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 500(0.9)1500(0.9)^1?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 450.

  1. Identify the exponential or logarithmic structure: Determine the base, exponent, logarithm, growth factor, decay factor, or graph feature involved.
  2. Apply the relationship: One period of a 0.9 decay factor gives 500(0.9) = 450.
  3. Check the result: The correct answer is 450.

One period of a 0.9 decay factor gives 500(0.9) = 450.

5. QuestionMultiple choice
