Answer:
B-a population growth of 3% each year
Step-by-step explanation:
The 1.03 would mean that the exponential function is increasing by 3% every year because it is 0.03 units above 1.

A parabola is defined as the set of all points such that each point has the same distance from the focus and the directrix. Also the parabola's equation will be a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c. So if we can determine 3 points on the parabola, we can use those points to calculate the desired equation.
First, let's draw the shortest possible line from the focus to the directrix. The midpoint of that line will be a point on the desired parabola. Since the slope of the directrix is 0, the line will have the equation of x=1. This line segment will be from (1,2) to (1,-2) and the midpoint will be ((1+1)/2, (2 + -2)/2) = (2/2, 0/2) = (1,0).
Now for the 2nd point, let's draw a line that's parallel to the directrix and passing through the focus. The equation of that line will be y=2. Any point on that line will have a distance of 4 from the directrix. So let's give it an x-coordinate value of (1+4) = 5. So another point for the parabola is (5,2). And finally, if we subtract 4 instead of adding 4 to the x coordinate, we can get a third point of 1-4 = -3. So that 3rd point is (-3,2).
So we now have 3 points on the parabola. They are (1,0), (5,2), and (-3,2). Let's create some equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = y and then substitute the known values into those equations. SO
ax^2 + bx + c = y
(1) a*1^2 + b*1 + c = 0
(2) a*5^2 + b*5 + c = 2
(3) a*(-3)^2 + b*(-3) + c = 2
Let's do the multiplication for those expressions. So
(4) a + b + c = 0
(5) 25a + 5b + c = 2
(6) 9a - 3b + c = 2
Equations (5) and (6) above look interesting. Let's subtract (6) from (5). So
25a + 5b + c = 2
- 9a - 3b + c = 2
= 16a + 8b = 0
Now let's express a in terms of b.
16a + 8b = 0
16a = -8b
a = -8b/16
(7) a = -b/2
Now let's substitute the value (-b/2) for a in expression (4) above. So
a + b + c = 0
-b/2 + b + c = 0
And solve for c
-b/2 + b + c = 0
b/2 + c = 0
(8) c = -b/2
So we know that a = -b/2 and c = -b/2. Let's substitute those values for a and c in equation (5) above and solve for b.
25a + 5b + c = 2
25(-b/2) + 5b - b/2 = 2
-25b/2 + 5b - b/2 = 2
2(-25b/2 + 5b - b/2) = 2*2
-25b + 10b - b = 4
-16b = 4
b = -4/16
b = -1/4
So we now know that b = -1/4. Using equations (7) and (8) above, let's calculate a and c.
a = -b/2 = -(-1/4)/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8
c = -b/2 = -(-1/4)/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8
So both a and c are 1/8. So the equation for the parabola is
x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = 0
Let's test to make sure it works. First, let's use an x of 1.
x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = y
1^2/8 - 1/4 + 1/8 = y
1/8 - 1/4 + 1/8 = y
1/8 - 2/8 + 1/8 = y
0 = y
And we get 0 as expected. Let's try x = 2
x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = y
2^2/8 - 2/4 + 1/8 = y
4/8 - 1/2 + 1/8 = y
4/8 - 1/2 + 1/8 = y
1/2 - 1/2 + 1/8 = y
1/8 = y.
Let's test if (2,1/8) is the same distance from both the focus and the directrix. The distance from the directrix is 1/8 - (-2) = 1/8 + 2 = 1/8 + 16/8 = 17/8
The distance from the focus is
d = sqrt((2-1)^2 + (1/8-2)^2)
d = sqrt(1^2 + -15/8^2)
d = sqrt(1 + 225/64)
d = sqrt(289/64)
d = 17/8
And the distances match again. So we do have the correct equation of:
x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = 0</span>
Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.<span>
5/6: 10/12 OR 15/18
15/30: 5/10 OR 1/2
45/60: 8/12 OR 4/6
Rewrite each pair or fractions with common denominator: Find the difference between the two bottom numbers, and multiply top and bottom number.
5/8 and 3/4: 4X2=8, 3X2=6. So, 5/8 and 6/8.
2/5 and 1/2: 2/5 and 2.5/5
9/9 and 5/7: 9/9 and ~5.7/9
Rewrite each in simple form: Find greatest common factor and divide.
9/54: 1/6
20/40: 1/2
100/110: 10/11
Are these fractions equivalent?
No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole.
In what situation can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions?
I'm sorry but I do not understand this question.

Answer:
14.8
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Pythagorean theorem, ...
... x² = 7² + 13² = 218
... x = √218 ≈ 14.7648 ≈ 14.8
First write the inequality: 15
4.75x +3.50
Then to solve, first subtract 3.50 from both sides to get:
11.50
4.75x
Then divide by 4.75 to get 2.42, and since you can't buy .42 of a bag of fruit, you round down. So your final answer would be 2 bags of fruit.
