Answer:   <em>(i)  The unit rate at which online jewelry sales have been increasing is 1.33 billion dollars per year. </em>

<em>(ii)  The online jewelry sales in 2019 will be 191.7 billion dollars.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2003, sales were approximately 2 billion dollars and in 2010, they were approximately 14.8 billion dollars.

(i)  If x is the number of years after 2003 and y is the amount of sales....

then the equation will be:   y= ab^x , where a is the initial amount and b is the growth rate.

for 2003,  x=0 and for 2010,  x=7

So, the two points in form of (x, y) will be:   (0,2) and (7,14.8)

Now plugging these two points int the above equation....

2= ab^0\\ \\ a= 2\\ \\ and\\ \\ 14.8=ab^7\\ \\ 14.8=2*b^7\\ \\ b^7=7.4\\ \\b= \sqrt[7]{7.4}=1.3309.... \approx 1.33

Thus, the online jewelry sales have been increasing at a rate of 1.33 billion dollars per year.

(ii)   As we got a=2 and b=1.33, so the equation will be now:  y= 2(1.33)^x

<u>For the year 2019, the value of</u>  x will be: (2019-2003) = 16

So plugging x=16 into the above equation, we will get.....

y=2(1.33)^16\\ \\ y=191.7150... \approx 191.7

<em>(Rounded to the nearest tenth)</em>

Thus, the online jewelry sales in 2019 will be 191.7 billion dollars.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

x = 83°

Step-by-step explanation:

41, 56 and the missing angle = 180° ( form a straight angle )

missing angle = 180° - (41 + 56)° = 180° - 97° = 83°

The angle x and the missing angle are vertically opposite and congruent

Hence x = 83°
