<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!

Jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price. Which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans tha
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

0.8X = Final cost

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price, to determine which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans that costs X dollars, the following calculation must be performed:

1X = Initial cost of the jeans

20% = 0.2

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

0.8X = Final cost
