The price of product A is decreasing and by what 18% per year and the product B recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year

Part A: Is the price of product A increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per year?

The function of product A is given as:

f(x) = 12500 * (0.82)^x

The rate of change is represented as:

Rate = 0.82

0.82 is less than 1

This means that the price decreases

The decrement per year is

Decrement = 1 - 0.82

Evaluate

Decrement = 18%

Hence, price of product A is decreasing and by what 18% per year

Which product recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year

On table B, we have:

f(1) = 5600

f(2) = 3136

Divide f(2) by f(1)

So, we have

Rate = 3136/5600

Evaluate

Rate = 56%

The decrement per year is

Decrement = 1 - 56^

Evaluate

Decrement = 44%

44% is greater than 18%

Hence, the product B recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year
