Answer:

y = 130,000(1.03)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of an exponetial function is y = abˣ, where a is the initial value (when x = 0), and b is the multiplier (the growth or decay factor). Here, we start with a population of 130,000, so our initial value a = 130,000. A growth of 3% each year represents a growth factor of 1.03, so after x years, the population y should be y = 130,000(1.03)ˣ.

Answer:

A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise over run, or y2-y1 / x2-x1.

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = \frac{-4-8}{2--1} =\frac{-12}{3} = -4$

The slope is A. -4.

Let's see--does that make sense? A slope of four would be pretty steep, and that matches the graph. It also should be negative because the line goes down and to the right, not up and to the right, so -4 makes sense!

∠QPS is a right angle and m∠QPR = 71°, what is m∠RPS?

natta225 [31]

Answer: <RPS = 161

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the common vertex in all of these angles. From this we know that these have to be adjacent angles (<QPR and <QPS) that equal the whole angle (<RPS)

<QPR+<QPS= <RPS

71+90= 161

(<QPS is a right angle. Right angles are equal to 90 degrees.)
