Answer: 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The equation showing the value of the bag after x years is C=25(1.025)^x

If the price of the bag increased by 2.5%, from the equation, we can deduce that

Initial cost of the bag is 25

Double of the initial value is 50

Insert it in the equation

\Rightarrow 50=25(1.025)^x\\\Rightarrow 2=1.025^x\\\text{Taking natural log}\\\Rightarrow \ln 2=x\ln (1.025)\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\ln 2}{\ln 1.025}\\\\\Rightarrow x=28.07\approx 28

It will take 28 years

Answer:

y=\frac{2}{3}x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph, you can find the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where x equals 0:

b=-6

y-intercept=(0,-6)

To find the slope, take any two points from the line:

(6,-2)(3,-4)

Use the slope formula for when you have two points:

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{rise}{run}

The rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change of the x-axis. Insert the appropriate values:

(6(x_{1}),-2(y_{1})\\(3(x_{2}),-4(y_{2})

\frac{-4-(-2)}{3-6}

Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):

\frac{-4+2}{3-6}

\frac{-2}{-3}

Simplify (two negatives make a positive):

m=\frac{2}{3}

The slope is \frac{2}{3} and the y-intercept is -6. Insert these into the equation:

y=\frac{2}{3}x-6

Finito.

almond37 [142]
Tammy's sample may not be considered valid because, on the first hand, it is said that she only asked students from her " Math Class". 
If she wants to have a survey to find out the favorite subject of the students at her school, she must conduct a survey involving all the students in her school, not just in her class. What she did is just subjective. She should use a tally listing the different subjects and compare the number of students per subject. This way, she can have an objective representation of the least liked subjects and the most liked subjects of the students on her school.
Illustrating her survey through statistics may be more reliable and valid because it shows frequencies in which she can calculate easily and accurately the percentage of  the number of students per subject, in a more objective manner.
