Jim is assessing the popularity of his high school football team’s website for the first 5 weeks after the season ends. The average number of visits on the website for 5 weeks is given in the table below. The percent decrease in the average number of visits each week since the end of the season was (___)%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is easier to read if formatted more like a table:

Number of Weeks Avg. Number of Visits

  0 48,000

  1 24,000

  2 12,000

  3 6,000

  4 3,000

  5 1,500

The initial number of visits to the website was 48,000. -- the value for week 0.

The percent decrease from 4th week to 5th week was 50%. ((new/old) -1)·100% = (1500/3000 -1)·100% = -50%

The minimum number of visits on the website in the first 5 weeks since Jim began his assessment was 1,500. (the number in the 5th week)

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

probably .5

i can on others if necessary.
