Answer: (B) 3 times as fast

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

rate of change is the "slope" between the given interval.

f(x) = 125(.9)ˣ

f(1) = 125(.9)¹

    = 112.5

f(5) = 125(.9)⁵

     = 73.8

\dfrac{f(5) - f(1)}{5 - 1} = \dfrac{73.8-112.5}{5-1} = -\dfrac{38.7}{4} = -9.675

********************

f(11) = 125(.9)¹¹

       = 39.2

f(15) = 125(.9)¹⁵

       = 25.7

\dfrac{f(15) - f(11)}{15 - 11} = \dfrac{39.2-25.7}{15-11} = -\dfrac{13.5}{4} = -3.375

********************

The rate of change from years 1 to 5 is approximately 3 times the rate of change from years 11 to 15.

Time has a total of $28 after spending half of his weekly earnings on a video game and earning $10 additional dollars for mowing
Korolek [52]

Given:

Time has a total of $28 after spending half of his weekly earnings on a video game and earning $10 additional dollars for mowing the lawn.

To find:

Weekly earnings at his part time job.

Solution:

Let x be the weekly earning.

He spend half of his weekly earning, i.e., \dfrac{x}{2}

He earns $10 additional dollars for mowing the lawn.

According to the question,

\dfrac{x}{2}+10=28

\dfrac{x}{2}=28-10

\dfrac{x}{2}=18

Multiply both sides by 2.

x=36

Therefore, his weekly earnings is $36.

  • P(G)=2
  • P(Y)=7
  • P(P)=5

Now

  • Total=E=7+5+2=12+2=14

Now

  • P(G')=14-2=12

Probability of not selecting gray =12/14

Now

But pink is in 5

  • P(P)=5/12
