Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find the exponential function that models the situation in year one. The exponential standard form is

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate in decimal form. If it is growth it is added to 100% of the initial value; if it is decay it is taken away from 100% of the initial value. We are told that the number of cars in year one was 80 million, so

a = 80 (in millions)

If b is increasing by 10%, then we are adding that amount to the initial 100% we started with to give us 100% + 10% = 110% or, in decimal form, 1.1

The model for our situation is

y=80(1.1)^x where y is the number of cars after x years goes by. We want to find the difference between years 3 and 2, so we will use our model twice, replacing x with both a 2 and then a 3 and subtracting.

When x = 2:

y=80(1.1)^2 and

y = 80(1.21) so

y = 96.8 million cars

When x = 3:

y=80(1.1)^3 and

y = 80(1.331) so

y = 106.48 million cars

The difference between years 3 and 2 is

106.48 - 96.8 = 9.68 million cars

The following cube has a volume of 8000 cm3. Find the length of one side of the cube.
Artemon [7]
<span>Vcube = Ledge^3
8000cm^3 = Ledge^3

use the cube root of each side and you have the measure of an edge in cm.

8000^(1/3) = 20
  every edge is 20 cm

20^2 = 400
The area of each face is 400 cm^2. </span>

X^2 - 10x + 8 =0
x^2 - 10 + (-10/2)^2 - (-10/2)^2 + 8 = 0
(x - 5)^2 - 25 + 8 = 0
(x - 5)^2 - 17 = 0
To be honest , this is the final step for this equation. It seems like there is no any suitable answer for this question..
To me , I think the best answer will be the third option.
x - 5 =0
x = 5

2x-10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5
I guess this answer seems like legit.. So I will choose the third option.
