Explain what the slope and intercept mean in each situation.
a. a graph represents the perimeter, y, in units, for an equilateral triangle with side length x units. the slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is 0.

5/12, or 5: 12

step-by-step explanation:

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.
