Explanation
Given that the price of the tickets each year is 2% more than the previous year, then the function that represents the price is an exponential growth function.
Exponential growth formula
![C(t)=a(1+r)^t](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/jmqzxchni4h026uwhtp3ohx2rll21sn1ml.png)
where
• C(t): ticket's price after t years
,
• a: initial price
,
• r: growth rate, as a decimal
,
• t: time in years
Substituting a = $84, r = 0.02 (= 2/100):
![\begin{gathered} C(t)=84(1+0.02)^t \\ C(t)=84(1.02)^t \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/fnt2qzzkyuk5qqfj6zuoegeb6tzdkfq0pb.png)
