A. The student added before multiplying.
If they had multiplied 6 and 4 first, the next step would have been too divide. But since they added first, they got 36/24 or 3/2 when the answer should be 13.
What are the values in (y 5) is it (y+5) or (y-5) i cannot answer until given the full problem.
The first year, the amount is 40,000
the second year is 40000 + 4.2% of 40000, or 0.042 * 4000, so 40000+(0.042*4000)
common factoring that we get 40000(1 + 0.042), or just 40000(1.042)
in short, the starting amount is 40000, and to get the next term's value you'd use the "common ratio" of 1.042, namely the multiplier of 1.042.
for the third year it'll be 40000(1.042) + (0.042 *
40000(1.042) ), again, common factoring that
40000(1.042)(1 + 0.042) or 40000(1.042)(1.042) or 40000(1.042)²
therefore,
The slope is a negative slope and the y-intercept is (0,2).
This can be solved using trigonometric functions. The distance x serves as one leg of a triangle, and makes an angle q with the hypotenuse. The distance from the tip of the rocket to the ground make up the other leg of the triangle. So solving this:
tan q = y / x
Where: y = distance from the tip of the rocket to the ground
Therefore, y = x tan q
Among the choices, the correct answer is C.
