Answer:
y² + 8y + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(y + 4)²
= (y + 4)(y + 4)
Each term in the second parenthesis is multiplied by each term in the first parenthesis, that is
y(y + 4) + 4(y + 4) ← distribute both parenthesis
= y² + 4y + 4y + 16 ← collect like terms
= y² + 8y + 16
Answer:
a) 46.98%
b) increasing rate of change
Step-by-step explanation:
In year 1987, investment worth $29800
In year 1997, investment worth $43800
Rate of change = 1997investment - 1987investment / 1987investment × 100
Rate of change = 43800 - 29800/29800 × 100
= 14000/29800 × 100
= 0.46979 × 100
= 46.98%
Therefore, the rate of change of the investment during the time period is 46.98%.
b) The rate of change of the investment is increasing. This is as a result of the following reasons. First, the value of rate of change is positive. Second, there is no value for rate of change for period before the time period so we cannot compare rate of change.
The slope point form is

m is the slope
x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point on the line
The slope of the line is -1
m = -1
point (-5, -4) lies on the line
x1 = -5 and y1 = -4
Let us substitute them in the form above

Remember (-)(-) = (+)

The equation of the line in the slope-point form is y + 4 = -1(x + 5)
A because the rest are just adding or multiplying
