Two math students were asked to write an exeponential growth equations that had a starting value of 300 and a growth rate of 2%.

Pierre thinks the answer is y=300(1.02)^x and Scott thinks that the answer is y=300(1.2)^x. Are either of them right and why?

Answer:

Pierre is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

A growth rate of 2% means that the values is increasing by 0.02 each year so the multiplying factor is 1.02.

Pierre is correct y = 300(1.02)^x.

Scotts  answer 1.2 = a growth rate of 20%.

Any quadrilateral which can be inscribed in a circle, is called a cyclic quadrilateral.


The main theorem about these quadrilaterals is the following:

In any cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the measures of the opposite angles is 180°.

This means, m(∠S)+m(∠Q) =180°, 

thus 

(7x-2)+(5x+14)=180

12x+12=180

12x=168

x=168/12=14

Thus the measures of angles Q and S are respectively:

7x-2 = 7*14-2=96 (degrees) and 

5x+14=5*14+14=6*14=84 (degrees)

Answer: D

Use PEMDAS for order of operations, it will save your life
Parenthesis Exponents Multiply Divide Add Subtract
Multiply and Divide  and  Add and Subtract can be switched around with each other, but multiply and divide always happens before add and subtract. The reason you add first here is because it is in the parenthesis.

Look at the table below. Plot and label points M and N on the coordinate
marta [7]
M = (1,4)
N = (5,2)

For M, you simply move to 1 on the x axis abs for 4 you move on the y axis. Same does for N, for 5 you move on the x axis and for 2 you move on the y axis.

The range of y=√x-5-1 is​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

[-1, ∞ )

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of parentheses is essential here.  I am assuming that you meant:

y=√(x-5) - 1

Note that √(x-5) has the range [0, ∞ ).  The domain is [5, ∞ ).

Thus, y=√(x-5) - 1 has the range [-1, ∞ )
