Lets say that Maggie works 5 hours just the same as Braxton. if we use h(x)=f(x)+g(x) they would make about $100 combined. having to split that Braxton would make less then what he originally. since 9(5)+10= 55 and 6(5)+15=45. but if say Maggie works more then 5 hours then Braxton will be more money then just working alone.
386 is the answer.................................
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your exponential formula is in the form y = ab^x. In this form, the coefficient 'a' is the initial value, the y-intercept, the value when x=0. The value 'b' is the growth factor, which is 1 more than the growth rate per increment of x. This problem is asking for the growth rate to be expressed as a percentage.

Given p(x) = 78500(1.02^x), we can compare to the exponential function form to see that ...
- a = 78,500
- b = 1.02 = 1 +0.02 = 1 +2%
The value of x is zero in the year 2000, so the population that year is ...
p(0) = a = 78,500
The increase per year is the value of 'b' with 1 subtracted:
growth rate = 2% per year
