Stella initially put $5 into a piggy bank. Over the next few years she continued to put all of her coins in the piggy bank, such

that each year the amount of money in the piggy bank doubled. Determine the equation that represents this situation and use it to decide which of the following graphs represents the amount of money, A(x), in Stella's piggy bank after x years.

Answer:

The equation is A(x) = 5(2)ˣ and the graph is Graph Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations on compounding interest (which this essentially is) are of the form

A(x) = p(1+r)ˣ, where p is the amount of principal, r is the interest rate and x is the amount of time.

Since Stella begins with $5, the principal is 5.

Since the amount of money doubles each year, this means we add an extra 100%; this makes r equal to 1.

This gives us the equation

A(x) = 5(1+1)ˣ = 5(2)ˣ

This graph will not be linear, as there is not a constant rate of change (there are different amounts added every year).

She begins with $5.  This means the y-intercept of the graph will be 5.

After 1 year, the amount of money doubles; this makes it 10.  The only graph that is not linear and goes through (0, 5) and (1, 10) is graph Z.

Answer: Z.


Step-by-step explanation:

They want you to figure formula then find right graph, but do it fastest way. If it doubles each year, graph can't be straight line, eliminate Y.

A(0) has to be $5, eliminate W. A(1) has to be double A(0), eliminate X. Check: Z shows A(1) is 10, A(2) is 20.

If lin runs 21 laps at the same rate, how long does it take her 25.6 minutes How many laps per minute is that? __ laps
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: 0.82 laps per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin is running 21 laps in 25.6 minutes.

To find out her speed in laps per minute, divide the distance she has ran by the time it took her to run it.

= Distance / time

= 21 / 25.6

= 0.82 laps per minute

Which is one of the transformations applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to change it into the graph of g(x) = 9x2 – 36x?
Alona [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

See the picture below

a) In the picture we observe that the parabola was narrowed not widened, so this option is incorrect.

b) From the picture, we conclude that the graph was shifted right 2 units, not four, so this option is incorrect.

c) From the picture, we observe that this option is the correct one.

d) We observe in the picture that this graph was not reflected so this option is incorrect.
