Maddie :
(1,100),(2,80)
slope (rate of change) = (80 - 100) / (2 - 1) = -20/1 = -20
Caitlin :
y = -18x + 120......slope (rate of change) = -18
To determine which rate of change is greater, take the absolute value of the slopes.
Maddy : | -20 | = 20
Caitlin : | -18 | = 18
the greater rate of change is the one with the larger absolute value....so that would be Maddy...function 1 shows a greater rate of change because Maddie spends 20 each month and Caitlin spends 18 each month
I believe it's A, sorry if it's incorrect. ^-^'
X + Y + Z = 8
2x = Z - 2
X + Z = 5
X = 1
1 + Y + Z = 8
Y + Z = 6
1 + Z = 5
Z = 4
1 + Y + 4 = 8
5 + Y = 8
Y = 3
The variables are 1, 3, 4.
The probability will be 3/6 or 1/2
X to the 14th power over y to the 18th power is ur answer
