Answer:
<em>Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function is often used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.
An exponential decaying function is expressed as:
Where:
C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t
Co is the initial value of C at t=0
r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal
The initial value of the item is Co=$1000, the rate of decay is r=40%=0.4, and the time is t=3 years.
Substituting into the formula:
C(3)=$216
Student 2 is incorrect because he didn't use the formula properly
Answer:
2678.06
Step-by-step explanation:
Annual is once every year and 3.5% of 2,500.00 is
3.5% ×2,500.00 = 87.5
so in the first year Deirdre has 2500.00 + 87.5 = 2587.5
then you find 3.5% of 2587.5 which is 90.56250000000001
but since it's money we round it to 90.56
2587.5+90.56= 2678.06
Answer:
The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. The "solution" to a system of two linear equations is the point where the two lines cross. If the two lines are parallel, they never cross; hence parallel lines have no solution. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (the m value in y = mx+b). One of your equations is y = -2x + (you left the y-intercept out). The slope is -2. So any line with a slope of m = -2 will be parallel to this line and will not cross it. The second line also needs a different value of b, the y-intercept. Otherwise it is the same line and every point is a solution. So if your equation is:
y = -2x + 1
Then any equation of the form y = -2x + b, b≠1 will create a system with no solution. Hence the values of m and b are m = -2, b ≠ 1.
