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

What is the y-intercept of a line that has a slope of 1/4 and passes through point (8,3)

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(3)= $\frac{1}{4}$ (x-(8))

y-3= $\frac{1}{4}$ x-2

y= $\frac{1}{4}$ x+1

The growth of a new strain of bacteria is represented by y=79.31(1.48)^x where x represents the number of days and y represents

Likurg_2 [28]

So we are given the equation
y = 79.31(1.48)ˣ
Whereas the x represents the number of days <--- what you need to know
y is the final number you are going to get, does not matter for now
You are trying to find the number of bacteria on Day 8
Put 8 into x

1.48⁸ = 23.019
79.31 * 23.019 = 1825.667
Your answer would be A.
