Well you start by dividing 19779 by 20820 to see the percent of people compared to last year (it being 95%). Then you take 19,779 and multiply it by the same percentage, or 0.95. That means that there should be 18790 (it's technically 18790.1 but since that's people you round to the nearest whole number).

Which of the following graphs of exponential functions corresponds to a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a ratio of
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: graph E.


A geometric sequence can be written as:

a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5


Substituting the numbers, we have:

a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

or else

f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}


This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).


In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4

f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 48 cm and the given area. Its length is 6 more than twice its width. Write and solve a sy
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 18 cm

The width of the rectangle is 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is

P=2(x+y)

we have

P=48\ cm

so

48=2(x+y) ------> equation A

x=2y+6 ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

48=2(2y+6+y)

48=2(3y+6)

48=6y+12

6y=48-12

y=36/6=6 cm

Find the value of x

x=2(6)+6=18 cm

The area of the rectangle is

A=xy

A=18*6

A=108 cm^2

Sara Blake's grandmother gave her $3000.00 to save for college. She put it in a savings account that earns 6% interest per year.
zubka84 [21]
I assume you are looking for the total. The total amount in the account will be $4,781.54 if the interest is compounded annually.

If she is earning 6% interest, the balance in her account will be multiplied by 1.06 each year.

You can evaluate the following expression to find the total.
3000(1.06)^8 = 4781.54
