Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Even though it is absolute value, 17 is still the greatest answer. If a number is in absolute value it will never be negative, only positive values can come out of an absolute value.
An example for absolute value would be if you had to measure the amount of distance away from something, even if its behind you, it would still be a positive number of length away from you.
If you had the absolute value of -25, it would automatically be equal to 25.
So circling back to the original problem, the absolute value of 17 would be greater than 3, -4 and -8. If (hypothetically) it was the absolute value of -17 it would still be greater because it would equal 17.
I hope that made sense, im sorry that it's a bit lengthy. Have a good day :)
(x) = 95x + 25 is correct, since the $25 cost is fixed, but the $95 cost increases as x increases.
The point is to find the growth rate. The compound formula is:
P=A(1+ growth rate)ⁿ, where A is the initial Value & P the new value after n years:
P₂₀₀₃ =P₂₀₀₂ (1+ growth rate)¹ (the period "n" from 2002 to 2003 being 1 year)
38400 = 32000(1+growth rate)¹
38400 / 32000 - 1= growth rate & growth rate = 1/5 = 0.2
You will balso find the same growth rate for:
P₂₀₀₄ = P₂₀₀₃(1+ growth rate)¹
P₂₀₀₅ = P₂₀₀₄((1+ growth rate)¹
between 2015 & 2002 THERE ARE 14 YEARS:
P₂₀₁₅ = P₂₀₀₂(1+0.2)¹⁴ & P₂₀₁₅ = 32000(1+02)¹⁴ = 410,854
A = allowance
(1/2)a = what have left after Monday
(1/2(1/2)a = what you have after Tuesday
(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)a = what you have after Wednesday.
Doing the multiplication.
(1/8)a = what you have left.
You have 1/8 of what you had at the start.
