1. Desmond has determined the following information about his two options. Option 1: Repair The cost of repair will be $160, after which the cost to operate the repaired mower is estimated to be $45 per week.
Option 2: Buy New. The cost of the new mower will be $400, after which the cost to
operate the new mower is estimated to be $15 per week.

Create equations to model the options. Each equation should model the cost of thatoption, y, in dollars, as a function of time, x, in weeks.

The federal reserve controls certain interest rates in the united states. investors often try to speculate as to whether the federal reserve will raise or lower rates and by how much. suppose a company conducts extensive interviews with financial analysts, and as a result, predicts that "thefed" will increase rates by an average of 0.25 percentage points every six months for the forseeable future. which type of equation could be used to model the predicted interest rates over the next several years, assuming no other significant changes? a) a linear equation b) a quadratic equation c) a polynomial equation d) an exponential equation
