Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The longer the interest rate, the more money it will generally cost someone.
We are asked to express r in terms of A, P, and t.
We first divide both sides of the equation by t, which gives us
,
then, dividing both sides by P, we have
.
Swap the sides:
Finally subtracting 1 from both sides gives us
.
Answer:
a) The percentage of adults who smoke are decreasing with time. b) the equation that best described this data is y=-0.3364x+22.809 (R^2=0.859) in which y is the percentage of adults who smoke and x the number of years. c) the percentage of adults who smoke will be 19.8% and it will not meet the expected 12%, it would take 32 years to reach that value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data can be plotted to which years is the independent variable and percentage of adults who smoke is the dependent variable. The linear trendline that described this data has a negative slope which indicates that the percentage of adults is decreasing with time. In order to determine if the OSH target is being met, the x is replaced by 9 which is the goal period of nine years. The y is 19% which is higher than the 12% goal. In order to know the period it will take to the reach the goal of 12%, the y is replaced by 12 in the curve and the x is the answer in years = 32 years.
The y-intercept is (0,12), or just 12, hope this helps
