Answer:
$12.85
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the sale price of the CD
Sale price = old price - old price * discount rate
= 17 - 17* .3
= 17 - 5.1
= 11.9
The sale price of the CD is 11.90
Now we need to find the tax
tax = sale price of cd * tax rate
= 11.9 * .08
= .95
The final cost of the CD is sale price of CD plus the tax
Total cost = sale price of CD + tax
= 11.90 + .95
=12.85
Since in 1990 there are 28%, we need to figure out when it gets to 31%. In addition, since it increases by 0.6% every year, we can say that 0.6x+28 (since 28 is the base value) is the percentage of babies born in wedlock every year. Therefore, to get 0.6x+28=31, we subtract 28 from both sides to get 0.6x=3
Dividing both sides by 0.6, we get x=5=the amount of years it takes to get 31% of babies born in wedlock. Since 1990 is the base value (we start from there!), we add 5 to that to get 1990+5=1995 as the yar
This is child's play.
So, basically:
Y=Length of foot
X= Length of your forearm.
This is simple. Your equation is Y=0.860x + 3.302
So, if you have a forearm (x) that is 17 inches long, then plug in x as 17. This leaves you to evaluate for Y.
New equation: Y=0.860(17) +3.302
Work it out, you get: Y=14.62 + 3.302
Work that out, you get: Y= 17.922 inches long.
And of course, Y is the foot.
So, your answer: If the forearm is 17 inches long, then the foot is 17.922 inches long. Simple.
So, part 2:
Rate of change. Well, you need slope then, because that's the same thing.
Y=mx+b, Where m=slope
Your answer turns to be 0.860 inches per length of arm, for rate of change.
Skipping the data, as that's only something you'd know.
Yes, it is indeed a function. There can't be any exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder, and it's obviously not a straight line if you plug it in.
So yeah, it's a function.
