An exponential function can either represent a growth or decay.

  • The price of fuel A is increasing.
  • Fuel B recorded a greater percentage change in price

<u>Part A</u>

For fuel A, the exponential function is given as:

f(x) = 2.96(1.04)^x

An exponential function is represented as:

y = ab^x

Where b represents the rate.

By comparison

b = 1.04

Since b (i.e. 1.04) is greater than 1, then the price of fuel A is increasing.

<u>Part B</u>

The table represents an exponential function.

The rate of fuel B is calculated by dividing the current price by the immediate previous price.

So, we have:

b = \frac{3.41}{3.22}

b = 1.06

By comparison, 1.06 is greater than 1.04 (the rate of fuel A).

Hence, fuel B recorded a greater percentage change in price

Simplify Using Distributive Property<br> -6(2a + 8)
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

-12a - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

you do -6 times 2a which is -12a then you do -6 times 8 which gives you -48 so you put -12a - 48

since the 48 is a negative we would just put a minus sign instead a plus. If it was a positive 48 we would put a plus sign buts its not so we put a negative.

HAVE A NICE DAY <br> WILL GIVE BRAINLST :)
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

A. 103 degrees

B. 77 degrees

C. 60 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Triangles' interior angles add up to 180, so if you already have 2 angles you just need to put them together, and subtract them from 180.

47+30=77

180-77=103

B. Lines also are 180, so 103-180=77

C. Interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so 180/3 is how you get your answer.

9/81 is equivalent to which fraction? please explain
alexdok [17]
9/81 can be simplified into 1/9. You divide both the top and bottom part of the fraction by 9.
9/9=1 and 81/9=9 to get 1/9. but that's it's simplified version. equivalent fractions of it can be almost anything. like, 1/9 can equal 2/18, 3/27, or 4/36.
