<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!

Lupita rides a taxi that charges a flat rate of $6.75 plus $3.20 per mile. If the taxi charges Lupita $40.03 in total for her tr
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

10.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x

and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:

L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03

Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:

($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28

Finally, divide both sides by  ($3.20/mile):

x = $33.28 /  ($3.20/mile)

  =  10.4 miles

Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.

What integer increased by - 12 is 28?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the integer. Then the increase can be written as ...

n + (-12) = 28

We can add 12 to both sides of this equation:

n + (-12) + (+12) = 28 +12

n + 0 = 40 . . . . . . -12 and 12 total to zero; 28 and 12 total to 40.

n = 40

The integer is 40.

A(1)=20
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

You've got a(1)=20

a(1) means a(n) when n=1

the sequence is telling you to take the previous value of a(n), which is a(n-1) and subtract 17

then:

a(2) = a(1)-17 = 20 - 17 = 3

a(3) = a(2) - 17 = 3-17 = -14
