To model this situation, we are going to use the exponential function:

where

is the initial number of cars

is the growing rate in decimal form

is number of tames the growing rate is increasing per year

is the time in years
To convert the growing rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%


Since the growing rate is increasing quarterly,

. We also know that the initial number of cars is 920, so

. Lets replace all those values in our function:



We can conclude that:
Rate ---------> The quarterly rate of growth is 0.03 or 3%
Exponent --------> The compound periods multiplied by the number of years is 4t
Coefficient--------> The initial number of cars serviced is 920
Base------> The growth factor is represented by 1.03
What do you think the answer is? Tell me and I will help you some more! :)
Complete Question
The Brown's Ferry incident of 1975 focused national attention on the ever-present danger of fires breaking out in nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated that with present technology there will be on average, one fire for every 10 years for a reactor. Suppose that a certain state has two reactors on line in 2020 and they behave independently of one another. Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors?
Answer:
The value is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The rate at which fire breaks out every 10 years is
Generally the probability distribution function for Poisson distribution is mathematically represented as

Here x represent the number of state which is 2 i.e 
Generally the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors is mathematically represented as

Answer: Slope is undefined or aka infinity, and there is no y-intercept
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Using Slope-Intercept Form to find the slope and the y-intercept.
First, lets change 4x-3=36 into y=mx+b. When you change it into this form you'll see that it can't go into intercept form because x=39/4 and is a vertical line so the slope is undefined or aka infinity, and there is no y-intercept.
Hope this helps! Have a nice day! ❤
