Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease. y=8700(1.04)^4

Using exponential function concepts, it is found that it represents growth of 4%.

An exponential function is modeled by:

In which:

In this problem, the equation is:

Hence:

Since r = 0.04 is positive, it represents a growth of 4%.

9.55 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

the given angle is

1 cycle is equal to 2π radians. so 4π will be equal to two cycles.

5.166667π-4π = 1.166667π

hence, this angle goes a little more than negative x axis.

1.166667π-π= 0.166667π

hence, the reference angle is 0.166667π radians.

1 radian = 57.2958 degrees

now, in degrees, this should be equals to 9.55 degrees.

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
