Answer:

It is false that, if the national economy shrank at an annual rate of 9% per year for three consecutive years then the economy shrank by 27% over the 3-year period, because this percentage does not follow a linear path, but on the contrary, it is calculated exponentially: 9% of each year is calculated on the rest that remained after discounting 9% the previous year.

Thus, if the national economy has a value of 100, after three years it will not have a value of 79, but a value of 75.35, as it arises from the following calculation:

100 x 0.91 ^ 3 = X

100 x 0.753571 = X

75.35 = X

Which is an equivalent form of the expression 1800(1.2)^-t

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1800(5/6)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see any answer choices, but this would be another form if it is listed. The negative exponent means that you get the reciprocal of the fraction (in this case 1.2). This turns 1.2 into (1/1.2), which is equivalent to 5/6.

Point Q is plotted on the coordinate grid. Point P is at (10, −20). Point R is vertically above point Q. It is at the same dista

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Point R is at (−20, 10), a distance of 30 units from point Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Q has coordinates (-20,-20).

P has coordinates (10,-20)

Since point R is vertically above point Q, it will have the same x-coordinate as Q.

Let R have coordinates (-20,y).

It was given that;
