Find the rate of growth
224=222(1+r)^(2001-1992)
Solve for r
R=0.000997 without %
P=224(1.000997)^(2004-2001)
P=224×(1.000997)^(3)
P=224.67 million
Answer:


This above options makes the expression true.
- The negatives above can be distributed up as well, which happened in A.
- In E, when the negatives inside the bracket cancels out, the negative outside the brackets multiplies and makes the expression true.
- In B the expression turns positive, thus false same happens with C and D
A. Not a function since we have the points (-1,0) and (-1,3). The x value repeats while the y values are different. Plugging in x = -1 leads to multiple outputs, which shows we don't have a function. To get a better visual, you can plot the points. You'll see that the points form a vertical line. Therefore, this graph fails the vertical line test.
B. This is a function. All of the x values are different. The points, when graphed, pass the vertical line test. In other words, its impossible to draw a vertical line through any two points on the graph. Any x input here leads to exactly one y output.
C. This is not a function. Like choice A, we have repeated x values. In this case we have (4,6) and (4,7). The x value x = 4 repeats itself leading to multiple outputs y = 6 and y = 7
D. This is also not a function. The x value x = 0 repeats itself. The graph fails the vertical line test.

Answer:
Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given statement is

x-4 is difference between x and 4.
|x-4| distance from x because distance can not be negative.
Inequality sign "<" means less than.
represent all values of x whose distance from 4 is less than 0.5.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
