The growth factor that could be used to model the population will be 1.04. Then the correct option is D.

<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Consider the function:

y = a (1 ± r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.

If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %.

If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %.

The population is increasing by 4% per year.

Then the growth factor that could be used to model the population will be

Growth factor = (1 + 4%)

Growth factor = (1 + 0.04)

Growth factor = 1.04

The growth factor that could be used to model the population will be 1.04.

Then the correct option is D.

Janelle has a credit card balance of $6444. The interest rate for this card is

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Credit cards typically have high interest rates compared to most other types of loans. That means it’s potentially expensive to borrow money with a credit card. When you don’t pay your full credit card balance every month, it’s easy to accumulate boatloads of interest fees quickly.

What is a credit card minimum payment? It’s the minimum amount of money a credit card company is willing to accept each month to keep your account in good standing.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking the minimum due is a “monthly payment” you should be making to pay off your credit card bill. When you only pay the minimum due on your credit card statement, your credit card issuer will make a lot of extra money from you.

What is the value of r (3,4), (-1,r),m=-3/4

Llana [10]

To find the value of r

We will follow the steps below

Usinf the equation of a slope:

slope(m) =

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

from the question given;

m= -3/4

x₁ = 3

y₁=4

x₂=-1

y₂=r

substituting the values into the slope formula

$\frac{-3}{4}\text{ = }\frac{r-4}{-1-3}$

we can now simplify and then solve for r

$\frac{-3}{4}\text{ = }\frac{r-4}{-4}$

cross-multiply

-3 x -4 = 4(r-4)

12 = 4(r-4)

Divide both-side of the equation by 4

$\frac{12}{4}\text{ = }\frac{4(r-4)}{4}$

3 = r - 4

add 4 to both-side of the equation

3+4 = r-4+4

7 = r

r=7

Therefore the value of r is 7
