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

Answer: 15.7 cups of popcorn

Step by step solutions:

V=pi*r^2*h
V=3.14*3^2*8
V=226.08 in^3

Now divide the volume by the volume of a cup of popcorn.

226.08 in^3/(14.4 in^3)=15.7 cups

Can anyone simplify this??
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

3^{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

(3^{5})^{2}

You multiply the exponents to get:

3^{10}

Then you divide it by 3^{-2}

When dividing exponents, you subtract.

10 - - 2 = 12 so the exponent is 12.

That leaves us with:

3^{12}

Tasya [4]

Answer:

m = \frac{-13}{32}

Step-by-step explanation:

Two point slope formula = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}  }{x_{2} - x_{1} }

\frac{-17 + 4}{13 + 19} = \frac{-13}{32}
