Answer:
3%
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation represents exponential decay. Whenever the base is less than 1, the function represents decay. When the base is greater than 1, the function represents growth. In this case, the base is .97 which is less than 1, representing decay.
The formula for exponential decay is y=a(1-r)x.
r is the decay rate, expressed as a decimal.
In this case, r = .03 which represents 3%!
From information given, we know
208 miles was at rate of 65 mph. so divide total mileage by speed to get time spent.
208 ÷ 65 = 3.2 hours
So the rest of the trip took 6 - 3.2 = 2.8hours to travel another 348 total miles minus the 208 miles driven at 65mph is 140 miles.
140 miles divided by 2.8 hours gives speed
140 ÷ 2.8 = 50 miles per hour
Angle c (36 degree) is equal to angle a
Angle a=36 degree
a+b=180
b=180-36
b=144 degree
Angle b=144 degree
Vertical angles are equal, so
.. 3x +8 = 5x -20
.. 28 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 20-3x
.. 14 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
Each of the vertical angles is 3*14 +8 = 50°, so the supplementary one is 130°.
.. 5*14 +4y = 130
.. 4y = 60 . . . . . . . . subtract 70
.. y = 15 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
The values of interest are
.. x = 14
.. y = 15
