Assume the rate of inflation is 5​% per year for the next 2 years. What will be the cost of goods 2 years from​ now, adjusted fo

The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.

where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form 
t = number of years

In this case, 
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years

We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70

Answer: 308.70 dollars

What is the scale factor of the dilation?
klasskru [66]
A description of a dilation includes the scale factor (or ratio) and the center of the dilation. The center of dilation is a fixed point in the plane. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement (a stretch). If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction (a shrink

If someone understands this please help
katrin [286]

Answer:

A= 4

B= 4

C= -1

D= 4

E= -1

F= 4

G= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value equation is the probability of something happening multiplied by the amount of times it happens. In this case you have four equal sized sections, so you have a one in four chance to land in any of these sections. A, B, D, and F represent the four for this one in four chance. C, E, and G represent the amount of points you get when you land on those sections, in this case -1

1. Explain in a complete sentence if the point (2, -4) is the solution to the system of equations. x + y = -2 2x – y = 8
Temka [501]
So, it says x + y = -2
we just plug in the numbers so,
2 + - 4 = -2
This equation is true and can also be written as
2 - 4 = -2

It also then says that 2x - y = 8
Again, you just plug in the numbers
2 * 2 - (-4) = 8 
This equation is true and can also be writen as,
2*2 + 4 = 8
