Answers:
- a = 8
- r = -15%
- y = 4.9 approximately
Note: your teacher may want you to type in a positive value for r
=========================================================
Explanation:
The given equation y = 8(1-0.15)^t is in the form y = a(1+r)^t
We have a = 8 as the initial value, or what we start with.
r = -0.15 converts to -15%, so we have a decay of 15%
Plug in t = 3 to find the corresponding value of y
y = 8(1-0.15)^t
y = 8(1-0.15)^3
y = 8(0.85)^3
y = 8(0.614125)
y = 4.913
y = 4.9
Answer:
n=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve combine your like terms.
You can start by adding 0.8 to both sides and subtracting 0.7n from both sides.

Next, divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate for n.

Answer: 125
Step-by-step explanation:
4/25 = 20/Y
Cross multiply to get the equation
4Y = 500
Divide both sides by 4
Y=125
Well, a y-intercept is a the point on a graph where the x value equals 0, because the point sits exactly on the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept would be (0, -9).
