Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage r
2 answers:
We are given this function:
8700 is the initial amount.
1.04 shows the change of original amount. This is decimal form of percentage. We need to transform it into regular percentage.
1.04 * 100% = 104%
Now we observe this number. If it is greater than 100% we have growth, if it is lower than 100% it is decay, and if it is equal to 100% than there is no change.
In our case this number is greater than 100% so we have growth. To determine the percentage rate we must substract 100% as it represents the original amount.
104% - 100% = 4%
This would be our solution if we don't have an exponent.
We have exponent so first step is to calculate the number and then we repeat the steps from above.
1,16985856 * 100% ≈ 116,99%
116.99% - 100% = 16.99%
So, final solution is growth of 16.99%

Answer:
x = 4 or x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take square both the sides,
x² - x - 12 = 0
x² - 4x + 3x - 3*4 =0
x*(x - 4) + 3*(x - 4)= 0
(x- 4 )(x+3) =0
x -4 =0 or x + 3 = 0
x = 4 or x = -3
Answer:
B-The graph is incorrect. He should have shaded to the right of –8.
Step-by-step explanation:
We examine the steps Alfonso follows in graphing the inequality x > -8.
Step 1: Draw a number line, and place an open circle at –8.
A number line going from negative 13 to negative 3. An open circle is at negative 8.
The first step is correct, since we use an open circle for > or < and a closed circle for .
Step 2: Shade to the left of –8 to represent the infinite solutions to x greater-than negative 8.
This step is incorrect since <u>values to the left are always less than.</u>
He should have shaded to the right of -8.
<u>The error made is Option B. </u>
CHECK:
x=-7
-7>-8 (TRUE)
