The value of a collector’s item is expected to increase exponentially each year. the item is purchased for $500. after 2 years, the item is worth $551.25. which equation represents y, the value of the item after x years? a. y = 500(0.05)x b. y = 500(1.05)x c. y = 500(0.1025)x d. y = 500(1.1025)x

An exponential increase may be represented as y = A(B^x). You can find the parameters A and B using the initial condition and the value after 2 years. 1) Initial condition: x = 0 => y = 500 => 500 = A(B^0) = A(1) = A => A = 500 => y = 500 (B^x) 2) After 2 years y = 500 (B^2) = 551.25 => (B^2) = 551.25 / 500 = 1.1025 => x = sqrt(1.1025) = 1.05. Then A = 500 and B = 1.05 => x = 500 (1.05)^x. option b., y = 500 (1.05)^x

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
