Kwan's parents bought a home for $50,000 in 1997 just as real estate values in the area started to rise quickly. Each year, thei

r house was worth more until they sold the home for $309,587. Model the growth of the home's value from 1997 to 2007 with both linear and an exponential equation. Graph the two models below.

A. First let us start with the linear model.

The equation is in the form of y = m x + b

Calculating for the slope m:

m = (309,587 – 50,000) / (2007 – 1997)

m = 25,958.7

 

Subsituting:

y = 25,958.7 x + b

Taking x = 1997, y = 50,000. Solve for b:

50,000 = 25,958.7 (1997) + b

b = -51,789,523.9

 

The complete equation is therefore:

y = 25,958.7 x - 51,789,523.9

 

 

B. The exponential model has the following form:

y = a b^x

where a and b are constants

 

Taking x1= 1997, y1 = 50,000; x2 = 2007, y2 = 309,587

50,000 = a b^1997

309,587 = a b^2007

 

Combining in terms of a:

50,000 / b^1997 = 309,587 / b^2007

b^2007 / b^1997 = 309,587 / 50,000

b^10 = 6.19174

b = 1.2

 

Substituting:

y = a 1.2^x

 

Solving for a:

50,000 = a 1.2^1997

a = 3.75 x 10^-154

 

The complete equation is:

y = 3.75 x 10^-154 * 1.2^x

Which transformation can verify congruence by turning one triangle 90 degrees
Nezavi [6.7K]
The answer to the question of yours is A. Rotation Its not B. because the question is asking by turning one triangle 90 degrees. This would mean that B. is incorrect since its turning. It wouldn't be C. because it isn't translating 90 degrees left or right its turning. And it most definitely wouldn't be D. Dilation because the triangle isn't decreasing or enlarging. Hope this helped feel free to ask any more questions.

A total of tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student ticke
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

the number of adult ticket sold is 107 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of adult ticket sold is shown below:

Let us assume the number of tickets be x,

So, the adult be x

And for student it would be 3x

Students= 2x

Adults= x

Total = 4x

Now the equation could be

4x = 428

x = 107

This x signifies the adult tickets sold i.e 107

Hence, the number of adult ticket sold is 107 tickets
