The average rate of change in the monthly rate per year is -$0.056 i.e decreases by 0.056 every consecutive year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The initial value is $7.69 in 1980 and the final value is $6.13 in 2008.

Difference in values = Final value - initial value = $6.13- $7.69 = -$1.56 (the negative symbol indicates that the cost has gone down with time)

Period between the values =Final year - initial year = 2008 - 1980 = 28 years.

Step 2; To find the rate of change per year, we divide the difference in values in that given period of time by the number of years in that period.

Rate of change per year = Difference in values in that period/ no of years.

= -$1.56 / 28 = -$0.056 (the negative symbol indicates that the cost has gone down with time)

So for every year between 1980 and 2008, the price of the monthly rate for basic able TV reduced by $0.056.

Lilit [14]

I'm assuming she gets 2% commission on sales and that she gets paid monthly from her yearly salary.

If the above is true, her monthly pay is calculated as follows:

Commission: 48500 * 0.02 = $970
Monthly salary: 30000 ÷ 12 = $2500

So monthly pay is $2500 + $970 = $3470

we know that having similar triangles so the ratio of sides,area and volume are same.

$s/s=s^2/s^2$

we know that $s^2$ will be the area of triangle.

$s^2/s^2=75/12$

so $s/s=\sqrt{75/12}$

so the ratio of the perimeter of two triangles will be

$(s+s+s)/(s+s+s)=(\sqrt{75} +\sqrt{75} +\sqrt{75} )/(\sqrt{12}+\sqrt{12} +\sqrt{12} )$

ratio of the perimeter= $\sqrt{225} /\sqrt{36}$

ikadub [295]

The equation that models the movement of the object is:
$h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * (t ^ 2) + v0 * t + h0
$
Where,
t: time
a: acceleration due to gravity
v0: initial speed
h0: initial height
Suppose that the object falls with zero initial velocity and from a height of 38 feet.
The equation that models the problem is:
$h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 38
$
Answer:
If an object is dropped from a height of 38 feet, the function h (t) = -16t2 + 38 gives the height of the object after seconds
