@texaschic101 1. the price of fuel may increase due to demand and decrease due to overproduction. emily is studying the change in the price of two types of fuel, a and b, over time. the price f(x), in dollars, of fuel a after x months is represented by the function below. f(x) = 2.96(1.04)^x part a: is the price of fuel a increasing or decreasing and by what percentage per month? justify your answer. (5 points) part b: the table below shows the price g(m), in dollars, of fuel b after m months. m(number of months) 1, 2, 3, 4 g(m) (price in dollars) 3.04, 3.22, 3.41, 3.61 which types of fuel recoded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month? justify your answer. (5 points)

On part A. of this question the fuel was increasing about 4% by the particular  month that she is calculating by.

On part B. of this question it is increasing as well. Here's to why: 
Just subtract 3.61 and 3.41 over 3.41 multiplied by the number 100
  Now (part 2., of part B): whatever the result of the one above would be divided into this problem by 3.41 times 100 (
Whatever the outcome of this part of the step will be multiplied by the number 100 once again
 Your mystery number of part B. would be: 5.8% 

From the looks of it, the one with the "greater percentage" would most likely be Part B. because is a little bit bigger than

But, when working with percentages you either multiply or divide out of 100, it will come easier to you if you do that method 

 Anyhow, good luck on your assignment!
