The value of a baseball card in dollars has been found to be 0.15y + 0.35, where y is the number of years since it was released. By how much is the baseball cards value increasing per year?

A. $0.15

B. $0.35

C. 15%

D. 35%

1 answer

To find the rate at which the value of the baseball card is increasing per year, we need to take the derivative of the given expression with respect to y.

Differentiating 0.15y + 0.35 with respect to y, we get:

d/dy (0.15y + 0.35) = 0.15

Therefore, the value of the baseball card is increasing by $0.15 per year.

Therefore, the answer is A. $0.15.
