The county debt is growing at an annual rate of 3.5%. what percent rate is it growing at per 2 years? per 5
years? per decade? show the calculations that lead to each answer. round each to the nearest tenth of a
percent.

7.1225% per 2 years

18.77% per 5 years

41.06% per decade

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the the county debt is growing at an anual rate of x%.

After t years, the debt will be:

In the formula, x goes as a decimal value.

In this problem, we have that:

Debt growing at a rate of 3.5% per year. So

Per 2 years

The debt after 2 years will be

The initial debt is D(0) = 1.

So it will have grown 1.071225 - 1 = 0.071225 = 7.1225% per 2 years.

Per 5 years

The debt after 5 years will be

The initial debt is D(0) = 1.

So it will have grown 1.1877 - 1 = 0.1877 = 18.77% per 5 years.

Per decade

The debt after 10 years will be

The initial debt is D(0) = 1.

So it will have grown 1.4106 - 1 = 0.4106 = 41.06% per decade.

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
