I'm assuming

is fixed. First note that

when

.
We can rewrite each expression as


Now to compare we only need to consider the exponents. It's easy to show that

for all

, so it follows that

so long as

.
The first thing you have to do is:
subtract: 11-5
Then subtract: -4-(-2)
then you put it as a fraction: 6/-2 or -3
That -3 would be considered the slope.
So now you have: y=-3x+ b
So what you have to do is plug in one of the points into the equation to find out what b is.
For example: 11 = -3(-4) + b
11=12 + b
-12 -12
b = -1
So the answer is: y = -3x -1
Answer:
0+2 or simply 2
Step-by-step explanation:
just imagine a "1" by the minus
-1(0-2)
The answer would be one and a half for each friend.
Answer:
4%
Step-by-step explanation:
After losing 4.17, it came down to 100.08, so the opening price was:
100.08 + 4.17 = 104.25
To find percentage decline, we find the ratio of the "change" (which is 4.17) divided by the opening (original) price, which is 104.25. Then we multiply that fraction by 100 to get our percentage decline.
So,

Thus, the
percentage decline = 4%
