-2
8(17-12)/ -2(8+2).
A negative and a negative equals a plus
8(5) / -2(10)
40 / -20
= -2
Given the equation A (x) = 30 x 8.3 ^x, we can get the
initial amount of A when x is equal to zero. Therefore:
A (0) = 30 * 8.3^0
A (0) = 30
In this case the equation grows by 8.3 times as x increases.
Therefore the growth factor is 8.3.
Answers:
initial amount = 30
growth factor = 8.3
The answers are not in the given choices. I believe you are
giving the wrong equation. If the correct equation here is:
A (x) = 680 x 4.3 ^x
Then the answers are:
initial amount = 680
growth factor = 4.3
The answers are now in the choices given.
