@electrokid can you help me please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=A\left(1+{r\over100}\right)^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for D, A = 23 and rate is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, plugging it in, \[f(x)=23\left(1+{6\over100}\right)^x\\ \boxed{f(x)=23(1.06)^x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do I do for B? @electrokid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from the information in table1, notice that we can write the function as: \[f(x)=22(a)^x\] where 'a' is unknown. now, also given that when x = 1, f(x)=21.56 so,plugging this in, \[21.56=22(a)^1\\{21.56\over22}=a=?\]solve that fraction and you get the value for a. plug that value in the above. ISSUE: the question says that there is a growth. However, the value for f(x) has decreased instead of increasing!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 0.98 after solving that.. yea it decreased. @electrokid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought "A" was the number outside of the parenthesis, and was the Y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good, so,\[f(x)=22(0.98)^x\] so, the rate of growth is given by: \[1+{r\over100}=0.98\] solve for r now, 'r' will be negative indicating a negative growth!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't 98/100 give you 0.98? @electrokid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Phi I'm working on the same problem, and she and I are both stuck.. can you help?
