Autumn wants to invest $1000. The table below shows the value of her investment under two different options for three different years: Number of years 1 2 3
Option 1 (amount in dollars) 1100 1200 1300
Option 2 (amount in dollars) 1100 1210 1331
Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of the investment after a fixed number of years using option 1 and option 2? Explain your reasoning. (4 points)

Part B: Autumn wants to invest in an option that would help to increase her investment value by the greatest amount in 7 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of Autumn's investment after 7 years if she uses option 2 over option 1? Explain your answer, and show the investment value after 7 years for each option if the equation for option 1 is f(x)=100x + 1000 and the equation for option 2 is g(d) = 1000(1.1)d

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
