If there are 26 states east of the mississippi river and 24 states west of the mississippi river, what is the probability that the third state drawn will be east of the mississippi, given that the first one drawn was east of the mississippi and the second one drawn was west of the mississippi?

part a:

house 1 function is exponential

house 2 function is linear

explanation:

house 1 value is increasing by 4% each year

house 2 value is increasing by 11,000 each year

part b:

house 1 function:   f(x)=179000(1.04)^x

house 2 function: f(x)=179000+11000(x)

part c:

house 1: f(30)=580568.15

house 2: f(30)=509000

580568-509000=71568 thus, house 1 yields a better roi (return on investment)
