The function y = 1.05(2x + 6) can be used to determine the total cost, y, for purchasing a candle stand for x candles, after tax. What is the rate of change of the cost with respect to the number of candles?
2.10 per candle
Convert from standard form to vertex form (y = a(x-h)^2+k)
y = 3x^2-6x-11
y = 3(x-1)^2-14
decay

A kayak rental company at a campground charges its customers $10 per hour for renting a kayak and a fixed amount of $2 for a bag to keep belongings dry. A customer rents the kayak for h hours and chooses one bag. Which equation can be used to find the total amount, C, in dollars, the customer will be charged?
y = 10x + 2
Describe the transformations of: y = -(x+7)^2 - 4
Write the equation for the scenario: The cost of private school is $12,000 and is increasing by 19% each year. What will the cost be at the private school after 5 years?
y = 12000(1+.19)^5
Is this table linear or exponential? Write the equation.
Linear, y = 2x + 3
