Unfortunately, Nicholas' steps in simplifying the fraction is not reflected in the question. However, the general idea of the simplifying fraction is to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and the denominator. In this case, the GCF is 10. Then, divide both numbers by the GCF. The answer for this item should be 2/3.
You need to find the prime factors of each term in order to find the greatest common factor.
The answer is 3.
Since the graph is a negative line, fix it so that it’s the positive line, make sure the line has the same rates
Answer: Multiplicative rate of change in housing costs, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his college.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 
models the housing costs, in thousands of dollars, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his college.
Since, the above expression is an exponential function. [ t is the exponent ]
The standard exponential function is given by :-
, A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of change with respect to time period x.
as compare to the given expression, we get b= 1.09, which is the multiplicative rate of change in the housing costs, for summer term t years since Chinedu applied to his college.
