Alternative B.
Answer:
a)
b) 2012, 1049 stores. 2014, 1041 stores. c) Yes it is a downsizing company.
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
s=year | f(s) = number of stores per year
1 | 1078
4| 1067

s=1 in 2003

b) For 2012, s=9. For 2014, s=11

c) In deed. Since the function shows a decreasing amount of JC Penney stores. Maybe this is a downsizing from this company, progressively closing some stores.
Let's take a triangle ABC, with a, b, and c the sides length, he law of sine is:
a/sin A =b/sin B = c/sin C
If we know the value of 2 angles and one side or the value of 2 sides and one angle, we can calculate all the elements of the triangle
Answer:
Amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let amount invested at 8% be x.
Let amount invested at 18% be y.
We get the 1st equation as:
........(1)
We get the second equation as:

=> 
or getting rid of the decimal by multiplying by 100 on both sides.
........(2)
Multiplying (1) by 8 and subtracting from (2) we get
So, y = 21000
And 

So, x = 9000
Therefore, amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+9+4x-3+8x-6=180
15x=180
x=12
angle 1= 3x+9=36+9=45°
angle 2=4x-3=48-3=45°
angle 3=8x-6=96-6=90°
1) it's right triangle
2) it's isosceles triangle
