Answer:
a) 46.98%
b) increasing rate of change
Step-by-step explanation:
In year 1987, investment worth $29800
In year 1997, investment worth $43800
Rate of change = 1997investment - 1987investment / 1987investment × 100
Rate of change = 43800 - 29800/29800 × 100
= 14000/29800 × 100
= 0.46979 × 100
= 46.98%
Therefore, the rate of change of the investment during the time period is 46.98%.
b) The rate of change of the investment is increasing. This is as a result of the following reasons. First, the value of rate of change is positive. Second, there is no value for rate of change for period before the time period so we cannot compare rate of change.
Answer:
59 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a square has 4 equal sides
if the sum of all sides(perimeter) is 236 you can do the inverse of that and divide by 4
so your answer should be 59

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are said to be similar. (ΔNPQ ~ ΔRSQ) That means corresponding sides have the same ratio:
NP/RS = NQ/RQ = PQ/SQ = 24/32 = 21/28 = 3/4
This ratio, or scale factor, also applies to the perimeters of the two triangles.
perimeter NPQ / perimeter RSQ = 3/4
Using the given expressions for the perimeters, we have ...
(7x +2)/(10x -4) = 3/4
We can solve this equation in the usual way to find the value of x. Then we can use that value to find the perimeter of ΔNPQ.
4(7x +2) = 3(10x -4) . . . . . multiply both sides by 4(10x -4)
28x +8 = 30x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
20 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-28x to both sides
10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 10
The perimeter of ΔNPQ is ...
7x +2 = 7(10) +2 = 72
The perimeter of triangle NPQ is 72 units.
