First we have to calculate how many years passed: 2015 - 1971 = 44 years.
So n = 44 and 8,5% = 0,085 so r = 1 + 0.085 = 1.085.
The starting population is 294,105 and the formula is:
y = 294,105 * r^n = 294,105 * 1.085^44 =
= 294,105 * 36.21666 = 10,651,502.85 ≈ 10,651,503
Answer: In 2015 there were 10,651,503 females participating in high school sports.
The prime factor of the 576 is
and the prime factor of the 64 is
. And the expression
is equal to 3.
<h3>What is simplification?</h3>
Simplification is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.
Given
The expression is 
The prime factor of the 576 will be

The prime factor of the 64 will be

Then the expression will be

C is the answer to the question
The answer is y = -4
because the line is on the y-axis on -4. If it was x = -4 then the line would be vertical on -4 on the x-axis
