For this case we have that each student takes 8 \ frac {3} {4} minutes to perform and play 3 songs. Then, we convert the mixed number to a fraction:

Thus, each student takes
minutes.
If there are 9 students in the recital then we have:
minutes.
Thus, the recital lasts at least 78.75 minutes.
Answer:
The recital lasts at least 78.75 minutes.

Answer: Only first two are exponential growth function and last three functions are exponential decay functions.</h3>
Step-by-step explanation: We need to describe exponential growth or decay for the given functions.
The standard exponential function equation is
.
Where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.
Note: If value of b > 1, it would be an exponential growth and if b < 1, it would be an exponential decay.
Let us check them one by one.
=> 
=>
.
Value of b is 1.008 > 1, therefor it's an exponential growth function.
y=250(1+0.004)^t, also have b>1 therefor it's an exponential growth function.
All other functions has b values less than 1, therefore only first two are exponential growth function and last three functions are exponential decay functions.
