The number 1.04 represents the rate at which the house appreciates, or increases in its price annually.
As according to the values of an exponential equation, which is represented by this: y=ab^x, the a value represents the original price, the b value represents the rate of growth/decay (if growth, you add 1 to the rate, if decay, you subtract the rate from 1), and x represents the amount of times it decays or grows.
As according to the function <span> f(x) = 242,000(1.04)^x, 242,000 is the original price and 1.04 is the rate of growth since 1 has been added to the the 4% annual growth.</span>
Answer: 9
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Andre has 4 x (the number of cars Peter has). Andre has 36 cars.
4P = 36
P = 9
If I am not mistaken, you cross multiply then divide.
Step-by-step explanation:

According to this trigonometric function, −C gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL:
![\displaystyle Phase\:[Horisontal]\:Shift → \frac{\frac{π}{3}}{3} = \frac{π}{9} \\ Period → \frac{2}{3}π](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20Phase%5C%3A%5BHorisontal%5D%5C%3AShift%20%E2%86%92%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7B%CF%80%7D%7B3%7D%7D%7B3%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%CF%80%7D%7B9%7D%20%5C%5C%20Period%20%E2%86%92%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%CF%80)
Therefore we have our answer.

NOTE: Sometimes, your vertical shift might tell you to shift your graph below or above the <em>midline</em> where the amplitude is.
