Answer: 1/243

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify the problem shown, our first step is to convert the decimal in the exponent, -2.5, to a fraction.

-2.5 is the same thing as -2 and 1/2 so we have 9^-2 and 1/2 and -2 and 1/2 is the same thing as -5/2 so we have 9^-5/2.

The rest of my work is attached in the image provided.

Answer: False

"Depreciating" means "going down", so the value is decreasing. The value of A will always be smaller than C. For example, if the item is worth $100 today and it drops to $80, then it depreciates in value. In this example, C = 100 and A = 80 so A > C is false

Answer:

$y = 1500 * 1.09^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{It should be clear that the rate of change is non-linear}$ $\text{, meaning that we can express the function in the following manner}$

$\text{y = a * b^t, where a is the initial value and b is the rate of change and t is how}$ $y = a * b^t,$ $\text{where a is the initial value and b is the rate of change and t is how many years.}$
