Using the exponential growth model, y=a(1+r)t, write a function for the situation: A football card is sold for $2, and its value increases by 8% each year after it is sold.  Then find it's value after 25 years. 

y=2(1.08)t  

Value after 25 yrs: $13.70

The first two terms of a sequence are a1=-2 and a2=4.  Let a3 be the third term when the sequence in arithmetic and let b3 be the third term when the sequence is geometric.  What is a3 + b3?

a3 = 10,   b3 = -8

So a3 + b3 = 2
