Answer:
Initial amount (a)= 620
Growth factor (b)= 7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
620 is the initial amount and is multiplied by 7.8 x which is the growth factor.
For this case, what you should do is use any computational tool and graph the data in the table. For example, I used excel.
In the x axis we have Starting temperature and in the axis of the y we have Ending temperature.
You can see how the diagram varies almost linearly.
Let x=papers on Saturday and y=papers on Sunday
First make equations for the information given to you
x+y=52 (total papers) and y= x+8 (he sold 8 more on Sunday)
then since you know y=x+8 then substitute it in the other equation like so
x+(x+8)=52 which means 2x+8=52 which means 2x=44 and therefore x=22
the problem however asks for sunday and not saturday, so solve for y now
y=x+8 which means y=22+8 which means y=30
He sold 30 papers on Sunday
I think its 18.5
I hope this helped
The line will start in the second quadrant and end in the fourth quadrant.
