Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
7 x 2=14
40-14=26
26/2=13
Okay, so to find like denominators you need to find a number that both denominators go into. For 15, they both go into 45. 9 goes in 5 times and 15 goes in 3 times. So multiply their numerators by 5 and 3. It would be 25/45 for 5/9 and it would be 12/45 for 4/15. Do the same for 16 and 17, for 16 they both go into 42 and for 17 they both go into 42.
Since the price is increasing by percentage, rather than a constant rate, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y=ab^x (a = initial value, b = growth/decay)
Since the value was $590 in the year 2000, 590 will be our a variable.
Since the value is *increasing* by 35%, add 1 and 0.35 (35% in decimal form) together to get 1.35. 1.35 is going to be your b variable.
Putting our equation together, our equation is f(x) = 590(1.35)^x
