Two math students were asked to write an exponential growth equation that had a starting value of 300 and a growth rate of 2%. P

ierre thinks the answer is y= 300 (1.02)x and Scott thinks that the answer is y= 300 (1.2)x Are either of them right and why?

Answer:

Pierre is right

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct formula for Exponential growth rate is given as:

y = a( 1 + r) ^t

Where

y = Amount after time t

a = Initial amount

r = Growth rate

t = time

From the question

a = 300

r = 2% = 0.02

Hence, our exponential growth rate =

y = 300( 1 + 0.02)^t

y = 300( 1.02)^t

Therefore, Pierre is right

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hello! :)

What is the probability of choosing a pen from the first box? It is 5/10 = 1/2.

 

What is the probability of selecting a crayon from the second box? It is 5/8.

 

The probability of picking a pen from the first box and a crayon from the second box is 5/8 x 1/2 = 5/16.

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

On a loan of $1200 at 15% annual interest, Shirley had to pay $135 interest. For how many months did she have the loan?
natulia [17]

Answer:

<u><em>9 months</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal= P= $1200

Rate=R= 15%

Interest= I= $135

Time= T= ?

I=P*R*T/100

135= 1200*15*T/100

135*100=18000*T

13500/18000=T

T= 0.75 years

T= 0.75*12= 9 months

7. When dy/dx = (x -6)1/2, what does y equal?
Sergio039 [100]
The answer is below
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)
multiply both sides by dx

dy = \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)dx
integrate both sides of the diffrential

integral \: dy = integral \: \frac{1}{2} (x - 6)dx
simplify and integrate to get y alone don't forget to tack on c with your indefinite integral

y = \frac{x {}^{2} }{4} - 3x + c
