Question

Select the correct answer.There were 800 farmers' markets initially in the USA in 2012. In 2013, the number of farmers' markets was 1.25 times the initial number of farmers' markets. Then, in 2014, the number of farmers' markets was 1.25 times the number of farmers' markets the previous year. If this pattern continues, which of the following graphs represents the number of farmers' markets in the USA over time?A. Graph WB. Graph XC. Graph YD. Graph Z

Answer 1

Given,

There are 800 farmers market in the USA.

The farmers market then increases by 1.25 times every year.

Thus the formual becomes,

`y=800(1.25)^x`

where x is the number of years.

Thus the expression is a exponential expression.

So the graph that gives us this expression is Graph Z.

Thus the answer is D. Graph.Z
