A stock portfolio is valued at $344,000. The stock is projected to grow by 16% per year over the next several years. This can be modeled by the equation y = 344,000(1.16)y where y represents the time in years. Part A:
Rewrite the equation to show how much the stock portfolio is projected to be worth after m months.

Part B:
Complete the table to show how much the stock will be worth throughout the next year. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

the first question mark is 6 and the second question mark is 26 (the square root)

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
