Since the price is increasing by percentage, rather than a constant rate, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y=ab^x (a = initial value, b = growth/decay)
Since the value was $590 in the year 2000, 590 will be our a variable.
Since the value is *increasing* by 35%, add 1 and 0.35 (35% in decimal form) together to get 1.35. 1.35 is going to be your b variable.
Putting our equation together, our equation is f(x) = 590(1.35)^x
Answer:
15 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
12 inches = 1 ft
so 12 inch by 12 inches is 1 ft * 1 ft
1 ft* 1 ft
1 ft^2
This is smaller than 3 ft^2 so they will get charged for 3 ft^2
3 ft^2 = 3 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 15 dollars
You are given two points in the linear function. At time 0 years, the value is $3000. At time 4 years, the value is $250. This means you have points (0, 3000) and (4, 250). You need to find the equation of the line that passes through those two points.
y = mx + b
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (3000 - 250)/(0 - 4) = 2750/(-4) = -687.5
Use point (0, 3000).
3000 = -687.5(0) + b
b = 3000
The equation is
y = -687.5x + 3000
Since we are using points (t, v) instead of (x, y), we have:
v = -687.5t + 3000
Answer: d. v = -687.50 t + 3,000
correct, as there are illegal immigrants.
