It is important to remember that a discount is the same as a decrease and a sales tax means an increase. If you remember this, you will easily know how to go about solving the mathematical questions.
A 15% discount is similar to a 15% decrease because a discount means a decrease in price and serves the purpose of a decrease.
An 8% sales tax is like an increase because it means that it is an 8% increase over the original price.

Write a rule for the following functions. I need help fast!
marishachu [46]

Answer:

  20.  y = 3·3^x

  21.  y = (1/3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

These exponential functions can be written in the form ...

  y = a·b^x

where a is the value of y when x=0, and b is the common ratio between terms that have x different by 1.

__

20. The ratio is 9/3 = 3; the multiplier is 3 (the value of y when x=0), so the function is ...

  y = 3·3^x

__

21. The ratio is (1/3)/1 = 1/3; the multiplier is 1, so the function is ...

  y = (1/3)^x

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Each of these can be written in a more compact form:

  20: y = 3^(x+1)

  21: y = 3^(-x)

Tyrell Otis deposited his IRS refund check for $760 at 5% and made no other deposits or withdrawals. How much simple interest di
Helga [31]

Answer:

He earned $114 in interest.

The final amount in the account is $874

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial balance (b): $760

Interest rate (i): 0.05

Period (n): 3 months

Simple interest applications yield the same amount in interest every period. Therefore, the total simple interest earned can be defined by:

I = n*B*i\\I= 3*760*0.05\\I=114

The final amount (A) in the account is the initial balance plus the interest earned in 3 months.

A = 760 +114\\A=874

He earned $114 in interest and the final amount in the account is $874
