in the function F(t) = 30(0.97)^t, what is the rate of change? A) 3% growth B) 3% decay C) 97% decay D) 97% growth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=P(1+r)^t where r is the rate as a decimal. Find r and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your sign will indicate whether it is growth or decay. Positive = growth, negative = decay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, now you have to see if it is decay or growth

Im assuming its growth, since its positive. But i really have no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+r = .97 solve for r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r=-0.03

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be decay then? @VeritasVosLiberabit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)
