Answer:

7.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth/decay is modeled as:

A = P(1+r)^t

where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate, and t is time.

If t = 0 represents 2015, and t = 2 represents 2017, then:

26000 = P(1+r)^0

30000 = P(1+r)^2

(1+r)^0 = 1, so P = 26000.  Substituting:

30000 = 26000(1+r)^2

1.154 = (1+r)^2

1.074 = 1+r

r = 0.074

The rate of increase is 7.4%.

Simon can see two lights, light A and light B.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

2 Times

Step-by-step explanation:

Light A flashes every 15 seconds.

Light B flashes every 18 seconds.

First, we determine the next time both lights will flash together.

This is done by finding the Least Common Multiple of the two numbers.

15=3X5

18=2X3^2

LCM of 15 and 18=2X3^2X5=90

This means that both lights will flash together after 90 seconds.

Now, 4 Minutes =4 X 60 =240

240=90+90+60

Therefore, the number of times more both light will flash together in the next 4 Minutes

= 2 Times
