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

You need to divide the $75 by the $15 that they withdraw each month to find out how many months the $75 will pay off. The service fee will be covered for 5 months.

Evaluate: 16^1/2 x 2^-3
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

16^1

---------------------- = 64

2 x 2 - ^3

Apply exponent rule

16^1 = 16

= 16

------------------

2x2 - ^3

16 = 2x 8

2 x 8

-----------

2 x 2 - ^3

Cancel the common factor <2>

8

---------

2-^3

Factor the number 8 = 2^3

2^3

----------

2-^3

Apply exponent rule.

= 2^3 - (-3) = 6

3- (-3) = 6

= 2^6

2^6 = 64

64 is the answer
