you cannot show too much "work"
basically, you remove what is common to all of the factors, and then put brackets, as it will be multiplied back in, remember that when you multiply exponents with the same base, its same as adding them, so subtract to remove...
you can seperate two of the variables , then factor, then subtract the last one from those two, because it cannot be factored out , as in part2 #2
Answer:
Graph B
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a exponential function
of the form
where
a is the initial value
b is the base
r is the rate
b=1+r
In this problem
a=2 ----> the y-intercept
b=3
so
1+r=3 -----> r=3-1=2 -----> r=200%
so
The y-intercept of the graph is equal to 2
As x increases the value of f(x) increases
therefore
Graph B
Total owed to the business = $100,000
amount that could not be collected = $5000
Fraction of total not collected
