Use the table to determine if the change is linear or exponential. Identify and interpret the constant rate of change if it's linear or the common ratio if it's exponential. It may not have an exact common ratio. In this case, approximate the ratio.
A local golf tournament begins with 200 participants. After each round, players are eliminated according to the table below.

O A. The change is linear. The constant rate of change is -50
OB. The change is exponential. The common ratio is about 0.75
OC. The change is exponential. The common ratio is about 1.25.
OD. The change is linear. The constant rate of change is 50
Interpretation:
O A. The number of players increases about 50 players each round,
OB. The number of players decreases about 50 players each round.
OC. The number of players decreases about 25% each round.
OD. The number of players decreases about 75% each round.

the last one 54 doesn't go into 45. 54/100 ?

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!

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.
