Yuri buys a ton of straw every year. the first time he bought straw, in year 0, it cost $150.00. he
notices the price is getting less expensive, at a rate of 1.5% per year.
yuri sketches a graph of the situation.
which statement is true?
me

the graph decreases from left to right

Step-by-step explanation:

because the price over time is getting cheaper the graph will decrease from 0 onward

(pls mark me the brainliest)

The graph decreases from left to right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original cost of the straw, P = $ 150.00,

The rate of decreasing per year, r = 1.5% = 0.015

Thus, the price after x years,

Which is an exponential function,

∵ An exponential function has,

Decay : if 0 < b < 1,  ( decreasing from left to right )

Growth : if b > 1,  ( increasing from left to right )

Since, 0.985 < 1

Thus, the graph is decreasing from left to right,

if x = 2,

C(2) = = 145.53375 ≠ 147.75,

I.e. (2, 147.75) does not lie on the graph,

If x = 3,

C(3) = = 143.35 ≠ 141.20

i.e. (3, 141.20) does not lie on the graph.

mariah is studying the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. she must choose one stage in the cycle to present in science class: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, or adult. she plans to make her choice randomly using a custom spinner divided into four sections. first, however, she spins the spinner 50 times to see the frequencies it generates.

stage times landed on

egg 10

caterpillar 12

chrysalis 15

adult 13
