Answer:

  43,872

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of cell phone subscribers in Centerville can be modeled by an exponential function.

  y = ab^x . . . . . where a = initial value, b = growth factor

The growth rate is given as 75% per year, so x will have units of years. It will be zero for the year 1985. The growth factor is ...

  b = 1 + growth rate = 1 +0.75 = 1.75

Then the model is ...

  y = 285·1.75^x

__

For x = 1994 -1985 = 9, the number of subscribers is modeled as ...

  y = 285·1.75^9 ≈ 43,872

The model predicts 43,872 cell phone subscribers in 1994.

Devon made a scale drawing of a triangle. He used a scale factor of 1/4 to draw the new triangle. How does each side of the new
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is Option A.
Scale Factors
If the Scale Factor IS 1, the polygon stays the SAME.
(If an equilateral triangle has a side length of 8 and the scale factor is 1, the sides will stay at 8)
If the Scale Factor is MORE THAN 1, the polygon's sides INCREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 3 and the scale factor is 4, the sides will increase to 12)
If the Scale Factor is LESS THAN 1, the polygon's sides DECREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 5 and the scale factor is 1/2, the side lengths will decrease down to 0.5)
Therefore each side length of the new triangle is 4 times shorter than the original (Option A)

Find the next term of the given sequence. 1.31, 2.54, 3.77, ...
ziro4ka [17]
This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 1.23...that means u add 1.23 to each term to find the next term.

1.31 + 1.23 = 2.54
2.54 + 1.23 = 3.77
3.77 + 1.23 = 5 <== ur next term

8n^2-4(7m^3+5n^2)<br> help
Rasek [7]
Hello there!


8m² - 4(7m³ + 5n²)

You wanna start by using the distributive property

=8n² - (-4)(7m³) + (-4)(5n²)

= 8n² - 28m³ - 20n²

= -28m³ - 12m²
