options: Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Malik bought a new car for $15,000. As he drove it off the lot, his best friend, Will, told him that the car’s value just dropped by 15% and that it would continue to depreciate 15% of its current value each year.
If the car’s value is now $12,750 (according to Will), what will its value be after 5 years? Complete the table below to determine the car’s value after each of the next five years. Round each value to the nearest cent.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:80%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"em": [{"_value": "t"}], "_values": ["# of years,", ", since driving the car off the lot"]}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"em": [{"_value": "t"}], "_values": ["Car value after", "years"]}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "15% depreciation of current value"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Car value minus 15% depreciation"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "0"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$12,750.00"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$1,912.50"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$10,837.50"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "1"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "2"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "3"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "5"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}}, {}]}]}]}]}
Write an exponential function to model the value of Malik’s car
$$t$$
years after driving it off the lot.
Use the function from part (b) to determine the value of Malik’s car 5 years after its purchase. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Compare the value with the value in the table. Are they the same?
Use the function from part (b) to determine the value of Malik’s car 7 years after its purchase. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Problem 2
Every day Brian takes 20 mg of a drug that helps with his allergies. His doctor tells him that each hour the amount of drug in his bloodstream decreases by 20%.
Construct an exponential function in the form
$${f(t)=ab^t}$$
, for constants
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
, that gives the quantity of the drug, in milligrams, that remains in Brian’s bloodstream
$$t$$
hours after he takes the medication.
How much of the drug remains one day after taking it?
Do you expect the percentage of the dose that leaves the bloodstream in the first half hour to be more than or less than 20%? What percentage is it?
How much of the drug remains one minute after taking it?
