Answer:

rate\ of\ increase = 28.8\ billion\ dollars\ per\ year

model: y = 28.8(t-2003) + 2

profit in year 2017: y =  405.2\ billion\ dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales increased from 2 billion dollars to 146 billion dollars in five years, so to find the increase in billion dollars per year, we just need to divide the increase by the amount of time:

rate\ of\ increase = (146 - 2)/5 = 144 / 5 = 28.8\ billion\ dollars\ per\ year

To construct a model for these sales, we can use the year 2003 as the initial point of a linear equation:

y = ax + b

the variable y will represent the profit in billion dollars, the variable x will represent our time, so we can use (t - 2003) in its place to represent the number of years since 2003 (t is the year we want to calculate), the constant 'a' will be our rate of 28.8, and the constant 'b' is the inicial value for the year 2003, that is, 2 (billions). So we have:

y = 28.8(t-2003) + 2

In the year 2017, we would have:

y = 28.8(2017-2003) + 2

y = 28.8*14 + 2

y =  405.2\ billion\ dollars

Needs help with this!!!
barxatty [35]

Answer:

y^1=-1(x-1)+(1+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-1x+1\ \ == > \ \ y^1=-1(x-1)+(1+9)

-1 horizontally = 1 units left (the x-axis)

9 vertically = 9 units up (y-axis)

*Black line: is the preimage

*Red line is the translation

Hope this helps!

When 10 b = 5 (StartRoot c EndRoot + 2) is solved for c, one equation is c = (2b minus 2) squared Which of the following is an e
Burka [1]

Answer:

I will show all the steps to lead to the solution.

1) 10b = 5 (√c + 2)  <---- starting equation

2) divide by 5 => 2 b = √c + 2

3) subtract 2 => 2b - 2 = √c

4) raise to the power 2 => (2b - 2)^2 = c, which is the expression given.

Now these are two equivalent forms:

1) extract 2 from the parentheses: c = 4 (b -1)^2

2) expand the parentheses: c = 4b^2 - 8b + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice D
