Answer:
P(t) = 282.2(1.009)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the attached image.
Hope you can read my handwriting. the image cut off the right side, b = 1.009213324... but question asks to round to nearest thousandth so it's 1.009
For the second part just use the equation to find P when t = -1 and see if P is less than (underpredicts) the number from the question or greater than (overpredicts) the number. I haven't calculated it but I think it will be smaller and thus underpredicts just from looking at the numbers when t = -1
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Two facts need to guide your answer.
One
The highest power is odd: you know this because an even power would start on the left come down do it's squiggles if had any and wind up on the right going up.
This graph comes down on the left does it's squiggles and then goes further down on the right. That's the behavior of something whose highest power is odd.
Two
The leading coefficient, the number in front of the highest power must be minus. If it was positive as in y = x^3 the graph would be the mirror image of what it is.
Argument
B and D cannot be true. The highest power is even.
C is false because the leading coefficient is + 1.
So that leave A which is the answer.
