In this function, if the value of r were to increase, would the value represented by P also increase or stay the same? Why? Explain your answer using terms such as "rate of growth" and "initial value" in the context of the coin problem.

P will remain the same

Step-by-step explanation:

What happens to p when r increases

The coin value function is an exponential function which is of the general  form:

From the given function:

P represents the initial value and r represents the rate

The rate of change (r) and the initial value (P) of a function are both independent, and they do not depend on one another for their values.

An increment or decrement in r will not affect the value of P.

Conclusively, when the rate (r) changes, the initial value (P) will remain the same.

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26
