Answer:
look at the picture .................
6 years
A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:
Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8
Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:
To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x
x = 6 years to the nearest year
45 feet.
Absolute value is the distance of a number from 0. Say 0 is the surface of the ocean, then the diver is 45 feet away from it. Either from above or below, they are the same distance away.
1,224 minutes.
75.20 minus 14 = 61.2
61.2 / 1,224minutes
