Answer:
The initial value is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = a (b^x)
1) x = 0, y = 3500
=> 3500 = a (b^0)
=> 3500 = a (1)
=> a = 3500
2) growth percent = 3.5% => growth rate = 1.035 = b
=> y = 3500 (1.035)^ x
3) year 2020 => x = 2020 - 2000 = 20
4) y = 3500 (1.035)^ 20 = 6964
Answer: 6964.
5*10^3 * 5*10^7= 5*5 *10^3*10^7=25*10^10
Generally u are allowed to leave it as it is but if no
25*10^10=25 * 10000000000 = 250000000000
Here u are!
I suspect you may have slipped up as you copied the question. Exactly as you wrote it, it has a single zero, at x= 2 .
