Answer:
a) 46.98%
b) increasing rate of change
Step-by-step explanation:
In year 1987, investment worth $29800
In year 1997, investment worth $43800
Rate of change = 1997investment - 1987investment / 1987investment × 100
Rate of change = 43800 - 29800/29800 × 100
= 14000/29800 × 100
= 0.46979 × 100
= 46.98%
Therefore, the rate of change of the investment during the time period is 46.98%.
b) The rate of change of the investment is increasing. This is as a result of the following reasons. First, the value of rate of change is positive. Second, there is no value for rate of change for period before the time period so we cannot compare rate of change.
Answer:
a.) May or may not a polynomial function ( depends on c)
b.) Not a polynomial function.
c.) Not a polynomial function.
d.) It is a polynomial function.
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial function is of the form - 
where n is positive integer and n
0
a.)
P(x) = 2x³ + 32 - 4x + 4c
It may or may not a polynomial function because we did not know about the constant c.
b.)
H(x) = 4
- 3x⁴
It is not a polynomial function because 
is not integer.
c.)
G(x) = 2
+ 5
It is not a polynomial function because -5 is not a positive integer.
d.)
F(x) = 2x³ - 5x + 33x²
It is a polynomial function.
Answer:
50%: day 13
100%: day 26
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two days and the amount of the moon that is illuminated. The two days are points on a straight line.
(1, 0.02), (2, 0.06)
y = mx + b
m = (0.06 - 0.02)/(2 - 1) = 0.04
y = 0.04x + b
0.02 = 0.04(1) + b
b = -0.02
y = 0.04x - 0.02
We want y = 50% = 0.5
0.04x - 0.02 = 0.5
0.04x = 0.52
x = 13
y = 100% = 1
0.04x - 0.02 = 1
0.04x = 1.02
x = 25.5
