Answer:
- Part A: The price of fuel A is decreasing by 12% per month.
- Part B: Fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
Explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
The function 
calculates the price of fuel A each month by multiplying the price of the month before by 0.88.
Month price, f(x)
1 2.27 (0.88) = 1.9976 ≈ 2.00
2 2.27(0.88)² = 1.59808 ≈ 1.60
3 2.27(0.88)³ = 1.46063 ≈ 1.46
Then, the price of fuel A is decreasing.
The percentage per month is (1 - 0.88) × 100 = 12%, i.e. the price decreasing by 12% per month.
<u>Part B.</u>
<u>Table:</u>
m price, g(m)
1 3.44
2 3.30
3 3.17
4 3.04
To find if the function decreases with a constant ration divide each pair con consecutive prices:
- ratio = 3.30 / 3. 44 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.17 / 3.30 = 0.960 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.04 / 3.17 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
Thus, the price of fuel B is decreasing by (1 - 0.96) × 100 =4%.
Hence, the fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
Answer:
B. Infinitely Many
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute
5x + 48 + 7x = 12x + 48
Step 2: Combine like terms
12x + 148 = 12x + 48
If the 2 lines are the same, which they are, they are the same lines. That means there are an infinite amount of solutions. If they had the same slope but different y-intercepts, there would be no solutions because the lines are parallel. Any other pair of equations would have 1 solution.
Answer:
<em>Interest = $3,888</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula:
I = prt or I = p · r · t
what it stands for:
I = amount of interest
P = principal amount ($1,200)
R = interest rate (in years)(3% into decimal which would be .03)
T = amount of time (in years)($108)
so:
I = prt
I = (1,200)(.03)(108)
I = $3,888
Interest = $3,888
Answer:
f(5) = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(x) = -3x + 8, find f(5)
Just plug in x = 5 into the function
f(5) = -3(5) + 8
f(5) = -15 + 8
f(5) = -7
