Answer:
(A) 4.03 x 10^14
Step-by-step explanation:
403,000,000,000,000
Scientific notation is of the form
a * 10 ^b
where a is a number from 1 to a number less than 10
Put the decimal in the number
403,000,000,000,000.
We need to move the decimal 14 places to the left to get the number to be between 1 and 10
4.03000000000000 so the b is 14
Since we moved it to the left b is positive
We can drop the extra zeros at the end (after the last nonzero digit)
4.03 *10^14
So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.

In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
No association because the dots are just scattered all over the graph
Negative association would be when the dots are going toward downwards
Positive association would be when the dots are going toward upwards
Subtract the second equation from double the first equation:
2x+6y-2x-(-4y)=0
10y=0
Therefore, y=0. Substituting this into the first equation, we see that:
x+3(0)=3
x=3
Therefore, x=3. The solution to this system is x=3, y=0, or (3, 0).
