Answer:

variety of functions types can model situations in the real world. Properties or key features of functions make them more or less appropriate models, depending on the situation. You might already know about these types of functions.

Drag each real-world situation to the correct column to show whether it can be modeled by combining additive inverses to get 0.

Answer:

. An investment account earns 2.8% simple interest.

Since investment amount increases every year linearly, therefore, the modeled situation represents a LINEAR FUNCTION.

B). The price of a stock varies by 2.8% each week.

Since price of the stock may increase or decrease every week, therefore, this situation can't be modeled by any function.

Therefore, the answer is NEITHER.

C). An investment account earns 2.8% compound interest, compounded monthly.

Formula to get the value of the final amount in the account is,

Final value = Initial value ×

Here 't' = Duration of investment

It's an EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION.

Anna-Maria has added 4 quarts of an alcohol in water solution to 1 quart of water and her ending product is a 36% alcohol in wat

fomenos

The concentration of solution would be the amount of the molecule divided by the volume. In this case, the solution concentration is 36% and the volume is 4 quarts + 1 quarts= 5 quarts. You are asked the concentration before 1 quarts added. The alcohol content should be same for both solutions. The answer should be:

concentration = alcohol content/ volume
alcohol content =concentration * volume
alcohol content1 =alcohol content2
36% * 5 quarts = concentration2 * 4quarts
concentration2= 36% * 5 quarts / 4 quarts= 45%

Cost of a CD: $23.50<br> Markup: 63%<br> Discount: 50%

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Alright this equation has two big steps. First we need to find the price after it was marked up, then we need to take that number and find the discounted price.
To find the cost after a percent of it was added, we just need to multiply the two together and add.
=
$
23.50
+
(
$
23.50
⋅
(
63
%
100
)
)
(we divide by 100 to get the number out of a percent)
=
$
23.50
+
(
$
23.50
⋅
0.63
)
=
$
23.50
+
$
14.81
=
$
38.31
Ok now that we have the number after the price increase, we now need to find the final answer after a discount of
50
%
(do the exact same idea as above but switch the sign)
=
$
38.31
−
(
$
38.31
⋅
(
50
%
100
)
)
=
$
38.31
−
(
$
38.31
⋅
0.5
)
=
$
38.31
−
$
