12. Identify the value of k and write a function g(x) for each 16. MONEY Sunil opened a savings account that
graph as it relates to f(x) compounds interest at a rate of 3% annually. Let P be the
initial amount Sunil deposited, and let t be the number of
f(x) = 3x years the account has been open.
g(x) = f(x) + k
a. Write an equation to find A, the amount of money in the
account after t years. Assume that Sunil made no more
deposits and no withdrawals.
b. If Sunil opened the account with $500 and made no
deposits or withdrawals, graph a function to represent the
money in his savings account. Then estimate the amount of
money in the account 10 years after opening the account.
19. Determine whether each function represents
exponential growth or exponential decay. Then state the

the concentration in the bloodstream is 3.0 mg/mL. The
concentration decays exponentially, and drops to 1.5 mg/mL
after 2 hours. The medicine is ineffective at concentrations
less than 0.6 mg/mL. If the patient is given a dose at 10 A.M.,
