How can i calculate the growth rate of the values below

Mathematics

Grace [21]3 years ago

Answer:

  12%

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the growth is ...

  f(t) = (initial value)×(growth multiplier per period)^(number of periods)

where the growth multiplier is often expressed as a percentage added to 1:

  multiplier = 1+r

  growth rate = r

__

This equation has two unknowns:

  • initial value
  • growth multiplier

In order to find these, you can make use of two of the supplied data points. I like to choose the ones that are farthest apart, as they tend to average out any errors due to rounding.

Clearly, the table tells you the initial value is 210. If you don't believe, you can put the numbers in the equation to see that:

  f(0) = (initial value)×(growth multiplier)^0

  210 = (initial value)×1

  (initial value) = 210

__

Using the last data point, we get ...

  f(7) = 210×(growth multiplier)^7

  464 = 210×(growth multiplier)^7 . . . . . . . . . fill in table value

  2.209524 = (growth multiplier)^7 . . . . . . .  divide by 210

You can solve this a couple of ways. My calculator is able to take the 7th root, so I can use it to find ...

  \sqrt[7]{2.209524}=\text{(growth multiplier)}\\1.119916\approx \text{(growth multiplier)}

Alternatively, you can use the 1/7 power:

  2.209524^(1/7) = (growth multiplier)

Another way to solve this is to use logarithms:

  log(2.209524) = 7×log(growth multiplier) . . . . . take the log

  log(2.209524)/7 = log(growth multiplier) . . . . . divide by 7

  0.04918553 ≈ log(growth multiplier)

  growth multiplier = 10^0.04918553 ≈ 1.11992 . . . . take the antilog

So, our growth multiplier is ...

  1 + r ≈ 1.11992

  r ≈ .11992 ≈ 12.0%

The rate of growth is about 12% in each period.

_____

Collapsing all of that to a single calculation:

  growth rate = (464/210)^(1/(7-0)) -1 ≈ 12.0%

The residual plot for a data set is shown.
UNO [17]

The true statement about the residual plot is (a) The regression line is a good model because there is no pattern in the residuals.

<h3>How to interpret the residual plot?</h3>

For a residual plot to be considered a good model, the points on the plot must be at random and they must not follow a specific pattern

From the graph, we can see that the points are scattered

Hence, the true statement about the residual plot is (a)

When you reflect across the y axis the y coordinate stays the same and the x coorrdinate changes sign  so x = -1 goes to x = 1

twice the sum of the number and negative seven is eight. Find the number. Round your answer to the nearest integer, if necessary
Ugo [173]

The number that twice the sum of it and negative seven is eight is 11.

<h3>How to find the number ?</h3>

Twice the sum of the number and negative seven is eight. The number can be found as follows:

let

the number  = x

According to the word expression, twice the value of  the addition of x and minus seven is equals to 8. Hence, we will find the value of x in the equation formed from the words expression.

The variable x is the required number.

Therefore,

2(x + (-7)) = 8

2(x - 7) = 8

open the brackets

2(x - 7) = 8

2x  - 14 = 8

add 14 to both sides of the equation

2x  - 14 = 8

2x  - 14 + 14 = 8 + 14

2x = 22

divide both sides by 2

x = 22 / 2

x = 11
