Bryan purchases a new boat. the expression below represents the value of the boat after x years.

22,000(0.88)^(x+2)

which statement is true?

a.
the price of the boat increases by 88% every year.
b.
the price of the boat decreases by 88% every year.
c.
the price of the boat increases by 12% every year.
d.
the price of the boat decreases by 12% every year.

answer:

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

since you're multiplying by .88, you have to be increasing by that much

g(x) = x² + 2

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the graphs are the same shape.

the only difference is that the red graph is 2 units higher than the blue graph.

that is to say that the red graph is simply the blue graph that has been moved vertically by 2 units in the positive y direction.

hence

g(x) = f(x) + 2

or

g(x) = x² + 2
