△cde maps to △stu with the transformations (x, y) arrowright (x − 2, y − 2) arrowright (3x, 3y) arrowright (x, −y). if cd = a + 1, de = 2a − 1, st = 2b + 3 and tu = b + 6, find the values of a and b. the value of a is and the value of b is .

Marco is studying a type of mold that grows at a fast rate. he created the function f(x) = 345(1.30)x to model the number of mold spores per week. what does the 1.30 represent? how many mold spores are there after 4 weeks? round your answer to the nearest whole number. 1.30 represents the number of mold spores marco had at the beginning of the study; 985 mold spores 1.30 represents the number of mold spores grown in a given week; 448 mold spores 1.30 represents the 30% rate of weekly growth; 345 mold spores 1.30 represents the 30% rate of weekly growth; 985 mold spores
