For the study, he begin with $20 and asks individuals on the street if they want the money or if they would like him to double it and give it to the next person. He continues to do this until someone takes money. This situation can be modeled by the exponential equation m (p) = 20(2)^p, where m is the money and p is the number of people who opt to pass it on to the next person. Which of the following statements is true about the equation?

Which of the following statements is true about the equation?

A. The range (m-values) includes the values (m >_20).
B. The domain (p-values) include the values greater than or equal to 20 (p >_ 20).
C. As p increases, m increases quickly at first and then slowly.
D. As p increases, m decreases slowly at first then quickly.
