The function that models exponential growth is:
P(t) = P0*(1 + r)^t, where
P0 = P(0) is the initial value of P
r is the growth rate as a decimal
In our case we have:
P(0) = 2800
r = 0.035 or 3.5%
P(t) = 2800*(1 + 0.035)^t
P(t) = 2800*(1.035)^t
The same exponential function written using y and t is:
y = 2800*1.035^t.

Answer:15. 5/8 = 0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
When you plug in the numbers for the integers, you get
8.2-2(-3.7)
If you multiply -2 and -3.7, you get 7.4 because the negatives cancel each other out.
If you then add 8.2, you get 15.6. So the answer is D.
Hope it Helps! :)
