Answer:
-3a
Step-by-step explanation:
Ignore the variable since they are the same, apple and apples, and simply pay attention to the coefficient
You would use the formula P(1+r/n)^nt=A I explained it in the picture and if the number is growing it is 1+r/n and if it’s not it is 1-r/n. Also if you don’t know the formula you can do it year by year which I also showed but it will take a long time and it’s easy to make a mistake. The answer would be A because if you plug the numbers into the formula you will get 4045.56 for plan b then you subtract 3000 and round, getting 1046. It is the formula of exponential growth/decay if you want to research further.
I would say the answer is B my good sir
we have

we know that
When the apple hit the ground the value of y is equal to zero
so
Find the x-intercept of the function
equate the function to zero

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation





therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
