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

I need help. Someone help please. (photo)​
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve all of these problems, you have to first create an equation. The typical format for an equation looks like this: y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In order to create an equation, you have to find the slope and y-intercept of the function. You can find the slope using this expression: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} To find the y-intercept, you use a known point and the slope in the equation to solve for b.

Now that we know this, we can solve the problems.

1a.

To create the equation, let's find the slope using points (1, 15) and (2, 30)

\frac{30 - 15}{2 - 1} = 15/1 = 15

The equation now looks like this: h = 15w + b

Let's use the point (1, 15) from the table to find b

15 = 15(1) + b

15 = 15 + b

subtract 15 from both sides the isolate the b

0 = b

There is no y-intercept for this equation, so the equation looks like this:

h = 15w

1b. We know the equation is h = 15w, so all we have to do is input the 9 into the equation.

h = 15(9)

h = 135

2a. We'll use the points (1, 8) and (2, 16) to find the slope

\frac{16 - 8}{2-1} = 8/1 = 8

The slope is 8.

Since it's impossible to sell any houses in 0 months, we already know that there is no y-intercept, so the equation looks like this:

h = 8m

2b. Put the value of 15 inside the equation and solve.

h = 8(15)

h = 120

3a. We'll use the points (1, 35) and (2, 70) to find the slope.

\frac{70 - 35}{2 - 1} = 35/1 = 35

The slope is 35.

It's impossible to see any movies in 0 months, so there is no y-intercept. The equation looks like this:

c = 35m

3b. We know that there are 12 months in a year, so put 12 into the equation and solve.

c = 35(12)

c = 420

4a. We'll use the points (1, 8) and (2, 16) to find the slope

\frac{16 - 8}{2 - 1} = 8/1 = 8

The slope is 8.

It's impossible for there to be a cost if there are no hats, so the y-intercept must be 0. The equation looks like this:

c = 8h

4b. Put the 30 hats into the equation and solve.

c = 8(30)

c = 240

2. Construct Arguments An ostrich runs 6 miles
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

<u>At a constant speed of 0.5 miles per minute, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes. The unit rate is 0.5 miles per minute.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance run by the ostrich = 6 miles

Time the ostrich takes to run this distance = 12 minutes

Speed of the ostrich = Distance / Time

Speed of the ostrich = 6 miles / 12 minutes = 0.5 miles per minute

How far the  ostrich could run in 40 minutes?

If the ostrich run 0.5 miles per minute, this is the formula:

Speed of the ostrich * 40 minutes = Distance

0.5 miles/minute * 40 minutes = 20 miles (Minutes is simplified in the numerator and the denominator on the left side)

<u>At a constant speed of 0.5 miles per minute, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes. The unit rate is 0.5 miles per minute.</u>
