The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x
The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.
A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)
B) the original amount is $20
C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:
20(1.2)^2
20(1.44) = $28.80
After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80
D) To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:
100 = 20(1.2)^x
Divide both sides by 20:
5 = 1.2^x
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)
Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:
ln(5) = x ln(1.2)
Divide both sides by ln(1.2)
x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)
Divide:
X = 8.83
At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100
The answer is 9 weeks.
Answer:
y=2/7x
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept,
y=2/7x+0
y=2/7x
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the slope using
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( -8 - 5)/( -7 - -7)
= (-8-5)/(-7+7)
= -13/0
This means the slope is undefined and the line is vertical
Vertical lines are in the form
x= constant and the constant is the x value of the points
x = -7
Answer:
I know the surface area is 120... don't know about volume
Answer:
$17.64
Step-by-step explanation:
7% of $252
=7/100 × 252
=0.07 × 252
=$17.64
