<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

Part a: The money in the account is growing.

Part b: The rate of growth is 3%

Part c: The value 250 represents the starting amount of money.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, first, we must remember the structure of the exponential growth or decay function:

P(t)=StartAmount*(rate)^{t}

Where,

- Start Amount, is the starting value or amount

- Rate, is the rate of growth or decay, we must consider the following conditions:

If the rate is greater than 1, the rate is a growth rate.

If the rate is lower than 1, the rate is a decay rate.

- t, is the time elapsed.

Therefore, we are given the following function:

f(x)=250(1.03)^{x}

From the function we can see that:

- Since the rate is 1.03 and it's greater than 1, the money in the account is growing.

- From the function we already know that the rate of growth is equal to 1.03

The rate is calculated by the following formula:

Rate=1+percent(growth)

- The value 250 represents the starting amount of money.

Hence, the answers are:

Part a: The money in the account is growing.

Part b: The rate of growth is 3%

Part c: The value 250 represents the starting amount of money.

Have a nice day!

Identify the domain of the graph given. *Don't forget the parenthesis or brackets*​
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

(-4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is all of its possible x-values.  In this graph, there is a y-value for every x-value between -4 and 3 except -4 and 3, because there are open dots at those points.  Therefore, the domain is (-4,3).  Use parenthesis because the function is not defined at x=-4 or x=3.

The answer is No, the cube will not fit because 4 cubic feet is 48 inches, and the bookshelf is only 12 inches, Therefore, the cube is basically larger than the bookshelf. Hope this helps and sorry I’m late.

Robbert wants to put lights around the edge of his yard.The yard if 40 feet long and 23 feet wide.How many yards of light does h
slega [8]

Answer:

102.222 square yards of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, the yard had the dimensions 40 feet long and 23 feet wide.

Hence, the yard is rectangular in shape.

We have to find the area of the yard.

The formula is given as:

Area = Length × Width

= 40 feet × 23 feet

= 920 square feet

Converting to yards

1 square foot = 0.111 square yard

920 square feet = x

Cross Multiply

x = 920 × 0.111 square yard

x = 102.222 square yards.

Therefore, Robbert would need 102.222 square yards of light.
