In general, the exponential growth function is given by the formula below

Where a and r are constants, and x is the number of time intervals.
In our case, n=0 for 1960; therefore, 1968 is n=8,

And 1976 is n=16

Solve the two equations simultaneously, as shown below

Solving for a,

a) Thus, the equation is

b) 1960 is n=0; thus,

The answer to part b) is $1.113043... per hour
c)1996 is n=36

The model prediction is above $5.15 by $0.55 approximately. The answer is 'below'
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify to 4x^2 + 12x + 5 = 0 so that all the terms are on one side.
Do a part of the quadratic formula to see.
You only need to do the
part. If it is negative, that means there are irrational solutions. If it is positive, it has two solutions. If it is 0, it has 1 solution.

It is positive so it has two solutions.
For linear functions, the rate of change<span> is constant, which means that it is the same between any two points on the line. For linear functions, the </span>rate of change<span> is the slope of the line.</span>
