It would be 1/4 because you would change them to a common denominator then simply them and you get 1/4
The number 1.04 represents the rate at which the house appreciates, or increases in its price annually.
As according to the values of an exponential equation, which is represented by this: y=ab^x, the a value represents the original price, the b value represents the rate of growth/decay (if growth, you add 1 to the rate, if decay, you subtract the rate from 1), and x represents the amount of times it decays or grows.
As according to the function <span> f(x) = 242,000(1.04)^x, 242,000 is the original price and 1.04 is the rate of growth since 1 has been added to the the 4% annual growth.</span>
Answer: 
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder can be found with the following formula:
Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height of the cylinder.
In this case, let be:
- 
the volume of one of this cylinders and 
the volume of the other one.
- 
the radius of the first one and 
the radius of the other cylinder.
- 
the height of one of them and 
the height of the other cylinder.
Then:
Therefore, you know this:
Simplifying, you get:
Now, knowing the ratios given in the exercise, you can substitute them into the equation:
Evaluating, you get:
Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the tax, we take the price times the tax rate
2 = 40* rate
Divide each side by 40
2/40 =rate
.05 = rate
Changing to percent form
5% = rate
