Answer:
The latest possible date is December, 14th.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the second Friday of December is n+7, where n is the date for the first Friday of December. So, the latest the first Friday, the latest the second. As the weeks have seven days, the first Friday will be between 1st and 7th of each month. So, the latest first Friday will be 7th. Therefore, the latest second Friday will be 14th.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:

We simplify the parenthesis to get:

Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is

The second choice is correct.
To get the average rate of change (ARC) of f(x) over [x1, x2], we use the formula:
ARC = ( f(x2) - f(x2) ) / (x2 - x1)
From the graph
f(2) = 4
f(-2) = 4
Plugging in the values into the formula:
ARC = (4 - 4) / (2 - (-2) )
ARC = 0
The points connecting (-2,4) amd (2,4) is a horizontal line that is the rate of change is 0.
A = {1, 2, 5, 6, 8}
{1} U {2, 5, 6, 8}
{2} U {1, 5, 6, 8}
{5} U {1, 2, 6, 8}
{6} U {1, 2, 5, 8}
{8} U {1, 2, 5, 6}
{1, 2} U {5, 6, 8}
{1, 5} U {2, 6, 8}
{1, 6} U {2, 5, 8}
{1, 8} U {2, 5, 6}
{1, 2, 5} U {6, 8}
{1, 2, 6} U {5, 8}
{1, 2, 8} U {5, 6}
{1, 5, 6} U {2, 8}
{1, 5, 8} U {2, 6}
{1, 6, 8} U {2, 5}
The answer is 15 distinct pairs of disjoint non-empty subsets.
