Answer:

y=120 * 1.1^x --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

x \to months

y \to mice

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (0,120) --- Monday

(x_2,y_2) = (1,132) --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

y=ab^x

In (x_1,y_1) = (0,120), we have:

120 = a * b^0

120 = a * 1

120 = a

a=120

In (x_2,y_2) = (1,132), we have:

132 = a * b^1

132 = a * b

Substitute: a=120

132 = 120 * b

Solve for b

b = \frac{132}{120}

b = 1.1

So, the function is:

y=ab^x

y=120 * 1.1^x

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

y =a(1 + r)^x

Compare to: y =ab^x

1 + r = b

Make r the subject

r = b-1

Substitute b = 1.1

r = 1.1-1

r = 0.1

Express as percentage

r = 0.1*100\%

r = 10\%

Answer:

<em>m</em> = 4/5

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

y = 4/5x - 3

<u>Step 2: Break Function</u>

<em>Identify Parts</em>

Slope <em>m</em> = 4/5

Which function is the inverse of f(x) = –5x – 4?
makvit [3.9K]
Y = -5x - 4
switch x and y and solve for y
x = -5y - 4
x+4 = -5y
(x+4)/ -5 = y^-1 ( the inverse)

a shape with rotational symmetry can be rotated around a point so that all of its characteristics are maintained
kirza4 [7]

The correct answer to this is “True”.

Symmetry signifies balance and form. An object with rotational symmetry will still look the same after a rotation. Since it maintains its shape and figure after being rotated, therefore its characteristics such as length of the diagonals, the angles of each corner, or parallelism of opposite sides will remain the same.
