Answer:
19. B -- continued, but modest ...
Step-by-step explanation:
19. There is no decline or decrease indicated on this graph. If growth were exponential, the graph would be concave upward, which it is not. There is continued growth indicated.
__
20. The percentage change from 2005 to 2010 is ...
(60 -20)/20 × 100% = 2 × 100% = 200%
One might compute an average rate of change per year of ...
200%/(5 yr) = 40%/yr
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
As with any statement of percentage, you need to be very clear about what the base is.
Here, 100% is the number of farms in 2005, so an increase of 40% per year is an increase by 40% of the number in 2005. That is very different from 40% of the number in the previous year, which is how an annual percentage increase is usually interpreted. (The average annual rate of change is closer to 24% with respect to the previous year's number.)
Answer:
<em>x = 7</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
17 = 3X + -4
Reorder the terms:
17 = -4 + 3X
Solving
17 = -4 + 3X
Solving for variable 'X'.
Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.
17 + -3X = -4 + 3X + -3X
Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0
17 + -3X = -4 + 0
17 + -3X = -4
Add '-17' to each side of the equation.
17 + -17 + -3X = -4 + -17
Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0
0 + -3X = -4 + -17
-3X = -4 + -17
Combine like terms: -4 + -17 = -21
-3X = -21
Divide each side by '-3'.
X = 7
Simplifying
X = 7
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
{(whole- part)/whole}*100%
(64 -48)/64 *100%= 25%
Y varies directly as x: y=kx, k is a constant.
when x=7, y=21, so we know k=3
therefore, the equation is y=3x
