A 1970 comic book has appreciated 7% per year and originally sold for $0.35. What will the comic book be worth in 2017?

You tell me if this makes sense to you.

It's 47 years from 1970 to 2017 so you would need to multiply 7% by the 47 years.

So: 0.07x47= 3.29

Now you should add your new price to your original price: $3.29+$0.35= 3.64

So it should cost $3.64 now. Yes that does seem kind of low but that's how you do it.

I hope this helps :)

There are no answer options so I will just simplify the expression:
3xy-(2x+4xy)
3xy-2x-4xy

A ditch contains 10 centimeters of water. Rainwater accumulates in the ditch as follows: 10 centimeters of water by the end of t

kondaur [170]

Firstly, let's create a function of f(t) where t represents the time that has past, and f(t) represents the amount of rainwater. We know that when t=1, then f(t)=10, and t=2 then f(t)=15. So, let's take that and analyze it:

(1,10)
(2,15)
m = (15-10)/(2-1) = 5
y-intercept = 5
∴ f(t) = 5t+5

Now we just evaluate t for 10:

f(10) = (5*10)+5
f(10) = 55
