Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Sara's base pay is $80
(a) The 9t represents the additional amount of money that she earns if she gives instruction for t hours. 9 stands for $9 per hour
b)The term in the expression is t which stands for the number of hours that she instructs. The coefficient is 9 which stands for the hourly rate
c) The expression for 7 hours would be
We will substitute t into 80 + 9t. It becomes
80 + 9×7
d) in all, she will earn
80 + 9×7 = $143
(1/36) = 0.0277777777778
(1/108)^3 = 7.9383224102<span> x 10^-7 </span>
(1/9)^4 = 0.000152415790276
(1/6)^2 = 0.0277777777778
(1/2)^5 = <span>0.03125
The only one that matches with the value of 1/36 is (1/6)^2. Therefore, your answer is C. (1/6)^2

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.
Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get
{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P
n
=284⋅1.04
n
We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.
\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7
We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.
\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P
7
=284⋅1.04
7
≈374
The student population will be about 374 in 2020.
