The exponential function is defined as y = a(1+r)^x, where "a" represents the original account and "r" the rate of growth or decay.
Then we have the following:
1) 22% grow
y = a( 1 + 22%/100 )^x = a(1.22)^x
So the solution is: 124(1.22)^x
2) 12% decay
y = a( 1 - 12%/100 )^x = a(0.88)^x
So the solution is: y = f(x) = 44(0.88)^x
3) 20% decay
y = a( 1 - 20%/100 )^x = a(0.8)^x
So the solution is: f(x) = 22(0.8)
4) 12% Groth
y = a( 1 + 12%/100 )^x = a(1.12)^x
So the solution is: f(x) = 42(1.12)^x
Adding all of the areas together:
5 x 6 = 30
4 x 6 = 24
3 x 6 = 18
4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25(square root) = 5
" " = 5
30 + 24 + 18 + 5 + 5 = 82 ft^2
1.5km = 1500m
To find the percentage take 15 and divide it by 1500, then times by 100
15/1500 x 100 = 1%
