Answer:

Rate of Decay = 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The decay formula is:

F=P(1-r)^t

Where F is the final value (here, it is given as "Y")

P is the initial value (here, given as 20,000)

r is the rate of decay (what we need to find)

t is the time (given as 2)

Comparing both the equations:

F=P(1-r)^t\\Y=20,000(0.92)^2

We see that:

1 - r  =0.92

We solve for "r":

1 - 0.92 = r

0.08 = r

The rate of decay is 0.08, as a percentage, we need to multiply by 100, so we have:

0.08 * 100 = 8%

Rate of Decay = 8%

Mark recorded the growth of a plant over 8 weeks. The equation y=0.2x+2 represents the height y, in inches, after x weeks.
klio [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing the growth of the plant after x weeks is expressed as

y = 0.2x+2

Where

x represents the number of weeks.

y represents the height of the plant after x weeks in inches.

A.

The height of the plant after week 3 was about 2.6 inches. We can check by substituting x = 3 into the equation. It becomes

y = 0.2 × 3 + 2 = 2 + 0.6 = 2.6 inches. It is correct.

B is incorrect.

C.

The height of the plant after week 9 was about 3.8 inches. We can check by substituting x = 9 into the equation. It becomes

y = 0.2 × 9 + 2 = 2 + 1.8 = 3.8 inches. It is correct.

D is incorrect
