anything to the zero power is one.
down 15% every time
1 - .08 = 0.92
down 8% every time
What is the initial value for the equation y=(0.85)^x
What is the percent of change for the equation y=(0.85)^x
What is the initial value for the equation y=24000(1-.08)^x
What is the percent of change for the equation y=24000(1-.08)^x

a.
Assuming that "initial" refers to the value of the variable = 0
(0.85)^0 = 1
b.
0.85^x shows a periodic decrease of 15%
c.
See a)
d.
well (1-.08)^x = .92^x , so what did b. tell you?
