<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 50% (0.5)

<h2>Why?</h2>

Exponential growth equations are use to predict the growth (in function of time) using proportional information.

We can calculate the exponential growth using the following formula:

y=S(1+r)^{t}

Where,

S, is the starting value

r, is the growth rate

t, is the time

So, we are given the function:

f(t) = 3(1 + 0.5)^{nt}

Where,

f(t), is the function,

3, is the starting value (lb)

0.5 (50%) is the growth rate

nt, is the time elapsed.

Hence,

From the given function, we know that the growth rate is equal to 0.5, and it's equal to 50%.

We can turn the growth rate given in real numbers to percent value by multiplying by 100

GrowthRate(Percentage)=0.5*100=50(Percent)

So, the growth rate is 50%.

Have a nice day!

A rectangle has perimeter, P, length, land width, w. Which of the following represents lin
almond37 [142]

Answer:

l=\frac{P}{2}-w.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of it's side lengths.

A rectangle has 4 sides where it's opposite sides are congruent.

So if one side has measurement w, then there is another side that has measurement w.

If there is one side that has measurement l, then there is another side that has measurement l.

So if you add w+w+l+l you get 2w+2l.

They are giving us that the perimeter is P, so P=2w+2l.

we are being asking to solve for l.

P=2w+2l

First step: Isolate term that contains the l, so get 2l by itself first.

We are going to subtract 2w on both sides giving us:

P-2w=2l

2l=P-2w

Now that we have 2l by itself it is time to perform the last step in getting l by itself.

Second step: Divide both sides by 2.

This gives us:

l=(P-2w)/2

You may separate the fraction like so:

l=\frac{P-2w}{2}=\frac{P}{2}-\frac{2w}{2}=\frac{P}{2}-w.

I don't know your options but I have solve for l in terms of P and w

and got l=\frac{P}{2}-w.

Please let me know if you have further questions with this problem.

Write 250 in standard form
UNO [17]
<span>To start, this has a value in the hundreds position: 200. This would be translated into "n * 10^2" in standard notation. We also see that we're working with more than 2 * 100 in this case, so the value that gives an "n" between 1 and 10 to set as a multiplier is 2.5. This gives "2.5 * 10^2" as a proper form.</span>
