The point is to find the growth rate. The compound formula is:

P=A(1+ growth rate)ⁿ, where A is the initial Value & P the new value after n years:
P₂₀₀₃ =P₂₀₀₂ (1+ growth rate)¹ (the period "n" from 2002 to 2003 being 1 year)

38400 = 32000(1+growth rate)¹
38400 / 32000 - 1= growth rate & growth rate = 1/5 = 0.2
You will balso find the same growth rate for:
P₂₀₀₄ = P₂₀₀₃(1+ growth rate)¹
P₂₀₀₅ = P₂₀₀₄((1+ growth rate)¹
between 2015 & 2002 THERE ARE 14 YEARS:

P₂₀₁₅ = P₂₀₀₂(1+0.2)¹⁴ & P₂₀₁₅ = 32000(1+02)¹⁴ = 410,854

Sati [7]

Year 3 = 2s

Year 2 = 3 + x

Year 1 = x

s = second year

x = first year

2s = 26

s = 13

The second year they made 13 million

13 - 3 = 10

x = 10

They made 10 million the first year.

(a) find the slope m of the tangent to the curve y = 5/ x at the point where x = a > 0.(b) find equations of the tangent line
Trava [24]
<span>(a) the slope of curve is calculated from the derivative of the curve expression y=5/x. In this problem, the slope m=-5/(a^2). (b) x=1, y=5,and m=-5, the tangent line is y-5=-5*(x-1). x=4, y=5/4, and m=-5/16, the tangent line is y-5/4=-5/16*(x-4)</span>

Quickly what is the answer to this and why
Darya [45]

Answer:

Q = 146

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angle S and T are equal because the sides are equal

The measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles in a triangle

Q = S+T

Q = S+S

Q = 2S

Q =2* 73

Q = 146
