Hello I did a call in a couple hours I did call 83
Yes it is greater than 1/2
<span>Here let the quadratic equation be ax^2 + bx + c
We know that a=5 from the question.
Since the roots are 6 and 2, the quadratic equation would take the form of a product like (a1x-b1)(a2x-b2).
However, let's assume that a2=1 and b2=6,
Since a=5, a1=5, then 5x-b1=5(x-2). Solving this shows that b1=10
So, the equation is (5x-10)(x-6)</span>
personally id say c cuz the one on the right makes it have no trend, and also because if it was a negative trend there should only have been one answer on it really.
This is exponential decay which can be expressed as:
y=ab^t, y=final value, a=initial value, b=rate, t=time
In this case a=25000, r=(100-20)/100=0.8 so
y=25000(0.8^t), so in 4.5 years...
y=25000(0.8^4.5)
y≈$9158.93 (to nearest cent)
