Answer 1

`y=115000(0.82)^(18)`

What is the initial value

Initial value = 115000

Is this growth or decay

Since 0.82 <1 , decay

What is the growth or decay Rate

The decay rate is 0.82

What is the time period listed in the exponential function listed above years

t = 18

What is the value of the exponential function listed above

`y=115000(0.82)^(18)=3231.08`

Round your answer 2 decimal places.​
