Answer: The answers are

(ii) The cost to attend Universal Studios increases by 1% each year,

(iii) An endangered species population is decreasing by 12% each year,

(iv) The population of a town that is growing by 5% each year.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given five functions and we are to select those which can be modelled with an exponential function.

(i) Here, height is varying with respect to time, so it will be a linear function.

(ii) Here, the cost to attend Universal Studios is increasing by 1% every year, so this will be an exponential function.

(iii) Here, an endangered species population is decreasing by 12% each year.

So, this will also be an exponential function.

(iv) Since we are considering the distance travelled by the bicycle at a constant speed of 25 mph, so this will be a linear function.

(v) Here also the population is growing by 5% each year. So, the function will be exponential.

Thus, the correct answer is second, third and fifth.
