Answer

Exponential function, in mathematics, a relation of the form


y=a^x

Option A is correct

Option B is correct , yes 200 represent the initial saving

Option C is incorrect 2 % is not the rate of decay

Option D is incorrect


\begin{gathered} f(x)=200.1.02^x \\ \text{first month } \\ \text{when x=1} \\ f(1)=200.1.02^1 \\ f(1)=204 \end{gathered}

Option E is correct


\begin{gathered} f(x)=200.1.02^x \\ \text{when x=4} \\ f(4)=200.1.02^4 \\ f(4)=216.486 \end{gathered}

It is less than $220

The final answer

The function f(x) = 200. 1.02* models the amount of money in Jordan's savings account-example-1
