grandma gigi gave leyla a rare purple stone for her sweet 16 birthday. at that time,the stone was worth$245. it has been increas

ing in value by the same percentage each year, when Leyla turned 21, the stone was worth $560.50. if s(t) represents the value in dollars of the stone t years after grandma Gigi gave it Leyla determine the value of a and r if s(t)=a(r)

This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:
s(t) = a(r)^{t}

where: 
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate

Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.

Now, we can calculate r:
r^{t}=\frac{s}{a}
r =  \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }
r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }
     = 1.18

Therefore, the correct answers are a = 245 and r = 1.18

A math teacher instructed students to graph the following equations on a coordinate plane. y=2.5x+2 and y=2x+4. If graphed corre
algol [13]

Both the graphical lines will intersect at (4,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; We must find the point in the graph where the lines of y=2.5x+2 and y=2x+4 intersect. To find out the intersecting point we must substitute values of x in both equations and see in which co-ordinate they are the same.

Step 2; We plot various values of x on the line governed by the equation y=2.5x+2

For a value of x=1 , y=2.5(1) + 2 = 4.5

For a value of x=2 , y=2.5(2) + 2 = 7

For a value of x= 3, y=2.5(3) + 2 = 9.5

For a value of x= 4, y=2.5(4) + 2 = 12

For a value of x= 5, y=2.5(5) + 2 = 14.5

Step 3; Now we also plot the values of x on the other line governed by y=2x+4

For a value of x= 1, y=2(1) + 4 = 6

For a value of x= 2, y=2(2) + 4 = 8

For a value of x= 3, y=2(3) + 4 = 10

For a value of x= 4, y=2(4) + 4 = 12

For a value of x= 5, y=2(5) + 4 = 14

Step 4; For both lines we must see if any of the values repeat at a particular point. In this case at the point (4,12) repeats for both so that becomes the point of intersection.

What is the best prediction of the amount of money earned when the lemonade stand has been open for 9 hours
abruzzese [7]

Answer:  $50

Step-by-step explanation:  Draw a line through the apparent center of the scattered dots. See where that line intersects 9 in the time scale (x-axis numbers) and the dollars earned scale (y-axis numbers)

It could be 50 or 55, but since there are a few more dots below the apparent midline, it may be best to use the lower estimate.

Of all rectangles with a fixed perimeter of​ p, which one has the maximum​ area? (give the dimensions in terms of​ p.)
TiliK225 [7]
<span>For all rectangles with a fixed perimeter of p the rectangle with the maximum area is one where the length is p/4 and the width is p/4, in other words a square. The area of such a rectangle would be (p*p) /16.</span>
