Answer:
Amount of increase = 60
Percent of increase = 40%
Explanation:
The amount of increase is equal to the difference between the new amount and the original amount. So, it is equal to:
New amount - Original amount = 210 - 150 = 60
Then, the percent of the increase is equal to the amount of increase divided by the original amount, so:
Amount of increase/Original amount = 60/150 = 0.4
Therefore, the answers are:
Amount of increase = 60
Percent of increase = 0.4 = 40%

we have to find which Matrix multiplication can be defined.
Explanation:
For Matrix multiplication, the number of columns of first Matrix should be equal to the number of rows of the second Matrix.
Therefore, the following Matrix multiplication can be defined
BC,Because number of columns of B is 2 and number of rows of C is 2.
AC,Because number of columns of A is 2 and number of rows of C is 2.
BA,Because number of columns of B is 2 and number of rows of A is 2.
Therefore, the multiplications BC,AC,BA can be defined.
One equation from a system of two linear equations is graphed on the coordinate grid. 51 46 5 4 3 2 1 6 x -1 -21 The second equation in the system of linear equations has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (2,-5). What is the solution to the system of equations? th
First, we need to find the equation for the two equations.
The equation graphed has a y-intercept of 3 and a slope of
[tex]m=\frac{-6}{3}=-3[/tex]therefore, the equation of the line is
[tex]\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3.}[/tex]For the second equation, we know what it has a slope of 3; therefore it can be written as
[tex]y=3x+b[/tex]Now, we also know that this equation passes through the point y = -5, x = 2; therefore,
[tex]-5=3(2)+b[/tex]which gives
[tex]-5=6+b[/tex][tex]b=-11[/tex]Hence, the equation of the line is
[tex]\boxed{y=3x-11}[/tex]Now we have the equations
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3 \\ y=3x-11 \end{gathered}[/tex]equating them gives
[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x+3=3x-11[/tex]adding 11 to both sides gives
[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x+14=3x[/tex]adding 1/2 x to both sides gives
[tex]14=\frac{7}{2}x[/tex]Finally, dividing both sides by 7/2 gives
[tex]\boxed{x=4\text{.}}[/tex]The corresponding value of y is found by substituting the above value into one of the equations
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}(4)+3[/tex][tex]y=1[/tex]Hence, the solution to the system is
[tex](4,1)_{}[/tex]does this represent exponential growth or exponential decay and identify the percent rate of changedetermine whether y= 500(1.08)t represents exponential growth or exponential decay and identify the rate of change.
Given:
[tex]500\mleft(1.08\mright)^t[/tex]To determine whether it represents exponential growth or exponential decay:
Since, the general exponential growth formula is,
[tex]f\mleft(x\mright)=a\mleft(1+r\mright)^x[/tex]Hence, the given represents exponential growth.
Comparing we get,
1+r=1.08

Which situation is best modeled by the graph? a.) the cost of buying muffinsb.) the distance between the train and the station as the train travels towards the stationc.) the amount of money left in the roll of quarters after paying a roll each dayd.) the distance a runner covers traveling at a steady paste
Notice that the graph plots points that as we move along the horizontal axis, go down in value. The Horizontal axis is most likely representing the time elapsed in each description.
Then, we DISCARD the first answer, since the cost of muffins don't go down as time goes by.
Answer b is a POSSIBLE answer, since the distance as the train approaches the station, is reducing (going down in value) as time goes by.
Answer C is not a good answer (we discard it) since after paying a roll each day, the number of quarters in each roll doesn't go down because we pay with the entire roll.
Answer d is also discarded, since the distance covered by the runner, should be going UP (increasing) as time goes by
Therefore, answer b) is the selected answer.

It costs $10 to enterand each ride is $2. How much will it cost Evan to go to the fair and ride 5rides? **Don't forget the initial cost.**( hint: determine the equation first y =X + and then plug in 5 for x) *
From the question, we are given the following;
Cost of entering the state fair = $10
Amount of each ride = $2
For us to determine the amount it will cost Evan to go to the fair and ride 5 rides, the equation y = $10 + 2x will be used where;
x is the total ride taken = 5 rides
y is the amount it cost evan to enter the state fair and ride 5 rides
Substitute x = 5 into the equation and get y;
y = $10 + 2x
y = $10 + $2(5)
y = $10 + $10
y = $20
Hence it will cost Evans $20 to go to the fair and ride 5 rides

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Write the given coordinates
[tex]A(-3,0),B(0,5),C(3,0),D(x,y)[/tex]STEP 2: State the side properties of a rhombus
In a rhombus, all sides are equal. This means that the length of the sides are equal and therefore the distances of the vertices apart will be the same.
And also, Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other. This implies that:
Co-ordinates of mid-points of AC= Co-ordinates of mid-points of BD
STEP 3: Find the distances of the sides
Midpoints of AC will be calculated as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right) \\ \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:0\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:0\right) \\ =\left(\frac{3-3}{2},\:\frac{0+0}{2}\right) \\ =\left(0,\:0\right) \end{gathered}[/tex]Midpoints of BD will be calculated as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Midpoint\:of\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right) \\ \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(x,\:y\right) \\ =\left(\frac{x+0}{2},\:\frac{y+5}{2}\right) \\ =\left(\frac{x}{2},\:\frac{y+5}{2}\right) \end{gathered}[/tex]Since midpoints are the same as mentioned above, this means that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \left(\frac{x}{2},\:\frac{y+5}{2}\right)=(0,0) \\ \frac{x}{2}=0,x=0 \\ \frac{y+5}{2}=0,y+5=0,y=-5 \\ \\ \therefore(x,y)=(0,-5) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the coordinates of the fourth vertex is given as:
[tex][/tex]A house is worth $350,000 when purchased. It was worth $335,000 after the firstyear and $320,000 after the 2ndyear.1. Geometric or Arithmetic and Why?2. Complete a table that shows the value of the house for 5 years.3. Write an explicit and recursive formula for the sequence.4. What is the value of the house after you have lived in it for 10 years?
A house is worth $350,000 when purchased. It was worth $335,000 after the first year and $320,000 after the 2nd year.
So, the difference between initial cost and the cost after one year =
335,000 - 350,000 = -15,000
The difference between the cost after one year and after 2 years =
320,000 - 335,000 = -15,000
As the common difference is constant
so, the cost represents Arithmetic sequence
the first term is 330,000 and the common difference is -15,000
The general form of the sequence is a + d(n - 1)
where a is the first term and d is the common difference and n the number of term
so, a = 335,000 and d = -15,000
so, the general form will be = 335,000 - 15,000(n-1)
So, the value of the house after 5 years = 335,000 - 15,000 * (5-1) = 275,000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Geometric or Arithmetic and Why?
Arithmetic
2. Complete a table that shows the value of the house for 5 years.
For 5 years:
first year = $335,000
second year = $320,000
third year = $305,000
fourth year = $290,000
fifth year = $275,000
3. Write an explicit and recursive formula for the sequence.
The formula will be : 335,000 - 15,000(n-1)
4. What is the value of the house after you have lived in it for 10 years?
After 10 years;
the value of the house = 335,000 - 15,000 * (10-1)
= 335,000 - 15,000 * 9 = $200,000
