SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ON MATH PROBLEMS PLEAASE IM IN ALG 2
wut qusion
Post them and we will try to help you.
find the annual percent increase or decrease that y=0.35(2.3)x models
0
what?
0 persent decrese or incerese
cool! i'm in algebra one but hey i'm only in 8th grade witch means i take online high school coarse that's pretty good right?
im confused???
i need help??
i tell u da answr u no listen not mi folt
thats not right
@Cheycheyy2 lets take this step by step okay :-). This is a exponential growth type question, have you seen these before or are you just learning them and are completely confused? Are you stuck anywhere specific?
im horrible at math and im confused onthis whole section
Okay, don't worry about if you don't understand your whole section, lets just focus on the question at hand. Exponential growth models this formula:\[\large x_t = x_0(1+r)^t\] Notice your question: \[\large y=0.35(2.3)^x\] Do you see how your question relates to the original form?
yeah a little'
Awesome :D. \[\large x_t = x_0(1+r)^t\] \[\large x_t \implies y\] \[\large x_0 \implies 0.35\] \[\large (1 + r) \implies 2.3 \] Notice the formula has a \((1+r)\). Your question doesn't, this is because your equation is written in final form. (Meaning the 1 and r (rate) are added together.) \[\large y=0.35(2.3)^x \implies \large y=0.35(2.3 - 1)^x \implies \large y=0.35(1.3)^x\] So \(1.3\) is our initial rate, do you know how to turn a decimal into a percent?
no
oh yeah
its130%
Correct! \[1.3 \times 100 = 130%\]
thanks can you help me on more
Sure, just post a new question :-). Anyway if you want to know more about exponential growth and decay, you can check out: http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/algebra/ae7/expdecayl.htm
