Answer: Percentage increase: 57%
Percent increase if the airline charges an additional 50: 14.5% or 15%
Depends if your teacher wants more accurate results with the decimal, or rounded up with 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ill explain in the comments bc for some reason its not letting me put it here
First set up a linear equation and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.
It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)
Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c
Build a set of 3 equations from the table:
C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6
Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6
-2.4 =4a-2b +6
1.4 = a-b +6
Rewrite the equations
a=b/2 -2.1
1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6
b = 5
a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4
replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot
The answer is c because, if u change 15% to a decimal (0.15) then u get 5,250 and when u add that to 35,000 you get 40,250
Money makes for nice decimal examples.
If you had $1.50, and you wanted to split it among three people, you would have :
1.50 divided by 3 (which would be $0.50 each)
