Depreciation: The price p, in dollars, of a Honda Civic EX-L Sedan that is x years old is modeled by p (x) = 22,265 (0.90)x Use logarithms to compute the half-life (in the case of exponential decay) or doubling time (in the case of exponential growth) and explain the contextual significance of this value. State and explain the contextual significance of the initial value and growth/decay factor (using percentages) of the model given. State and explain the contextual significance of the horizontal asymptote of the model given.

Exponential Decay Is the graph of exponential decay versus time increasing or decreasing?
Sales of a video game released in the year 2000 took off at first, but then steadily slowed as time moved on. Table 4 shows the number of games sold, in thousands, from the years 20002010. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=1 for the year 2000. Let y represent the number of games sold in thousands. Use logarithmic regression to fit a model to these data. b. If games continue to sell at this rate, how many games will sell in 2015? Round to the nearest thousand.
