How can you use the form of an exponential expression or equation to help determine things about the context it represents? Why might it be important to look at a "messier" version of a formula from time to time in order to understand key pieces of information?

An equation representing lyle’s hedge-trimming business is a = 12n - 300 where a is the amount of profit or loss in dollars and n is the number of hedges trimmed. how would the graph of lyle’s business change if the equation a = 10n - 300 represented his business? the graph would be flatter. the graph would be steeper. the graph would start closer to the origin. the graph would start lower on the y-axis.

The spring the owner of a sporting good store decreases the price of winter gloves from $10 to $8 each increases the price of swimming goggles from $8 to $10 without doing the math you think the percent decrease in the price of the gloves the same as the percent increase of the goggles explain why or why not
