Solve the problem. a student earned grades of c, a, b, and a in four different courses. those courses had these corresponding numbers of credit hours: 4, 5, 1, and 5. the grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as follows: a = 4, b = 3, c = 2, d = 1, and f = 0. compute the grade point average (gpa) and round the result to two decimal places. 3.40 3.50 8.75 2.18

How can you tell when x and y are not directly proportional?

David estimated he had about 20 fish in his pond. a year later, there were about 1.5 times as many fish. the year after that, the number of fish increased by a factor of 1.5 again. the number of fish is modeled by f(x)=20(1.5)^x. create a question you could ask that could be answered only by graphing or using a logarithm.
