A small business estimates that the value V(t) of a copy machine is decreasing according to the function V(t) = 3000(3) – 0.18t where t is the number of years that have elapsed since the machine was purchased, and V(t) is in dollars. Use this information to answer parts (a)-d). (a) What was the original value of the machine? The original value was S - (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: For each year t , the population of a forest of trees is represented by the function A(t)=115(1.025)t. In a neighboring forest, the population of the same type of tree is represented by the function B(t)=82(1.029)t. (Round answers to the nearest whole number.) Assuming the population growth models continue to represent the growth of the forests, which forest will have a greater number of trees after 100 years? By how many?
