6 years
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
x = 6 years to the nearest year
slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)
Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5
therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58
answer: y=5x-58
Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3
Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3
answer: y=x/3
Answer:
note that -11 itself is not included. the circle is empty, not filled
Answer: you have $31 at the end of the week
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's put this problem into an algebraic expression. We started off with $42. We then added $25 and took out $36 during the week. The expression for this problem is
42
+
25
−
36
.
Next, add 42 and 25 together to get
67
. We now have
67
−
36
.
Finally, subtract 36 from 67 to get
31
, our answer.
