Using an linear function, we find that by 2020 only 11% of all American adults believe that most qualified students get to attend college.
-----------------------------------------
A decaying linear function has the following format:

In which
- A(0) is the initial amount.
- m is the slope, that is, the yearly decay.
- In 2000, 45% believed, thus,

- Decaying by 1.7 each year, thus
.
The equation is:

It will be 11% in t years after 2000, considering t for which A(t) = 11, that is:




2000 + 20 = 2020
By 2020 only 11% of all American adults believe that most qualified students get to attend college.

Answer: a = 1 b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2(y^3)^4/x.y^5 = x^a.y^b
x^2(y^12) = x^a.y^b
(x^2).(y^12)/x^y^5 = x.y^7
x.y^7= x^a . y^b -> <u>x^1.y^7</u>
Answer:
180 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a rectangle = length × width
here length = 15 in and width = 12 in, hence
area = 15 × 12 = 180 in²
