Answer:
Area decreases by 16%
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula for the area of the triangle

<u>Initial triangle:</u>
The base is 18 cm
The height is 5 cm
The area is

<u>New triangle:</u>
The base is 
The height is 
The area is

Area decreases by

Answer:
Exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
The y values are going up by a factor of 2 as x increases.
D, six units to the right. This is the answer because the pre-image is six to the left of the newest image. Just count the spaces away!
Answer:
At the start of 2014, the population was growing at 8.34 million people per year.
At the start of 2015, the population was growing at 8.39 million people per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how fast was the population growing at the start of 2014 and at the start of 2015 we need to take the derivative of the function with respect to t.
The derivative shows by how much the function (the population, in this case) is changing when the variable you're deriving with respect to (time) increases one unit (one year).
We know that the population, P(t), of China, in billions, can be approximated by 
To find the derivative you need to:

To find the population growing at the start of 2014 we say t = 0

To find the population growing at the start of 2015 we say t = 1

To convert billion to million you multiple by 1000
