<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

         B.   Exponential

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that a exponential function is given by:

      f(x)=a(1\pm r)^x

where a is the initial value of the function.

and r is the rate of increase or decrease.

if r decreases then we have the total change as: 1-r

and if r increases then we have the total change as: 1+r

Here r=10%=0.10

a= 500

Hence, we have:

the population function f(t) over the time t years is given by:

          f(t)=500(1-0.10)^t\\\\f(t)=500(0.90)^t

Hence, the model that best fits the given situation is: Exponential.

Answer:

B. Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual wolf population in each year is

w  =  500  500(0.9) 500(0.9)²  500(0.9)³   …

n =      1           2             3                4            …

The model is w = 500(0.9)ⁿ⁻¹.

This is an exponential model, because the independent variable is in an exponent.

Eli needs pieces of ribbon cut into strips that are 2 1\2 feet long. The roll of ribbon is 7 1\2 feet long. Which expression cou
julsineya [31]

Answer: There are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

Length of a ribbon is given by

7\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{15}{2}\ ft

Length of pieces of ribbon cut into strips is given by

2\frac{1}{2}\ ft\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\ ft

So, we need to find the number of strips that can be cut is given by

\text{ Number of strips }=\frac{\text{Length of roll}}{\text{ Length of strip}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}\\\\=\frac{15\times 2}{2\times 5}\\\\=\frac{15}{5}\\\\=3

Hence, there are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car. Which loan option would allow her to pay the least amount of interest?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clarissa needs a $2,500 loan in order to buy a car.

There are 4 options of loan we will calculate all the options that pay the least amount of interest.

To calculate the interest we will use this formula :

\frac{P\times R\times time}{100}

Where P = Principal amount

R = rate of interest

T = time in years

A) Principal 2,500 interest 4.75% and time 18 months (1.5 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.75\times 1.5}{100}

= $178.125

B) Principal 2,500 interest 4% and time 30 months (2.5 years)

\frac{2500\times 4\times 2.5}{100}

= $250

C) Principal 2,500 interest 4.25% and time 24 months (2 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.25\times 2}{100}

= $212.50

D) Principal 2,500 interest 4.50% and time 36 months (3 years)

\frac{2500\times 4.5\times 3}{100}

= $337.50

The least amount of interest would be in option A.
