Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay , and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease y =550(1.075)x

It is growth and the percentage rate of increase is 7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation is as follows;

y = 550(1.075)^x

Now, I can identify that the exponential equation is that of growth.

This is because what is in the bracket i.e can be represented as 1+ 0.075

The 0.075 represents the margin of increase as we move on from one value to another

The percentage rate can be gotten by expressing 0.075 as a percentage

That would be expressing is as a fraction

This is just 7.5/100 which means what we have is 7.5%

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺

they charge the same amount at 20 minutes.
