The sequence is geometric. Any exponential function models geometric growth. Recall the general nth term of a geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1) which is very similar to the form y = a*b^x. The big difference is that the x function is continuous while the function in terms of n is discrete. In this case, the common ratio is r = 1.10 to indicate we have 10% growth. Notice how 100%+10% = 1.00+0.10 = 1.10
----------------------------------------
The first quadrant is where x and y are both positive. Since x is the time in years, it doesn't make sense to talk about negative years or negative years have passed by. We can have a negative balance in a bank account, so it makes sense to have y be negative. However, Mr Sullivan starts with some positive amount and his account grows every year. So there's no way that y can be negative in this case.
----------------------------------------
The point (0,200) is the y intercept. It represents the starting amount he deposited into the account, which was the $200. Keep in mind that no other deposits were made, and he cannot pull money out of the account if he wants his account to grow according to the graph. Also, the interest rate must remain at 10%.
7.86 x 4 is 36.156 because you have to line up the decimals and multiply them and then you get 36.156
<span>The answer is:
</span>a. a greater curve
Thanks for choosing brainly and let me know if you have any questions, hope you have a great day!
Product means to multiply.
Multiply the first 2 numbers , then multiply the answer of that to the 3rd number:
5 * -3 = -15
-15 * -2 = 30
The answer is 30
