Y represent the total number of newspapers sold by Colby.
Answer:
Linear would be fine as it doesn't decrease to under zero
and a curve graph would represent this data fine at 10818 turning point.
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent as
w=wally
a=ashan
so wally has 2 more marbles than ashan
w=2+a
together they have 88
w+a=88
since w=2+a, subsitute (2+a) for w in the w+a=88 equation
2+a+a=88
add like terms
2+2a=88
subtract 2 from both sides
2a=86
divide by 2
a=43
ashan has 43 marbles
We have to use the function A(t)= a(1 +/- r)^t
So A is going to be the answer- the area after 8 years. t is going to be 8, because t is time. a is 2400 because that's the starting value. Finally, we're going to turn 5.75% into it's decimal form of .0575. That's going to be r, and because the area is decreasing, we will subtract r from 1.
Our new function is:
A=2400(1-.0575)^8
Simplify a little bit.
A=2400(.9425)^8
Bring .9425 to to power of 8 and then multiply by 2400 because PEDMAS.
A=1494.38366866
The rounded answer is 1494 kilometers squared.
