Asap ! give the equation: y=50(1.15)^x a. does this equation represent exponential growth or decay b. what is the initial value? c. what is the rate of growth or decay? answers a. growth, 50, 15% b. decay, 115, 50% c. growth, 1.15, 0.15%

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is of the form:   ....[1] where a is the initial value, x is any real number and b is the growth factor  

Also, the b value (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 + r) or by (1 - r).

Then, the growth "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.

and the decay "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 - r

Also, b = 1+ 4

Given the equation:  

On comparing given equation  with [1] we get;

a = 50 and b = 1.15

Since, b = 1.15 > 1

Therefore, the given equation represents the exponential growth.

(A)

Yes, this equation represents the exponential growth.

(B)

Initial value (a) = 50

(C)

Here growth factor, b = 1.15

and

1+ r = 1.15.

⇒

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
