is this correct ? the botanical garden currently has 15 orchids in it. the number of orchids increases by 6% each year.

(1) write an exponential equation that represents the number of orchids, y, after x years.

y=a(1+r)xy=15(1+. 6)xy= 15(1.06)xy= 15(1.6) ²y= 15(2.36) = y= 35

3× __ -2=15 7 2× __+1=7 5 7× =22 15 5× __+10=2 8 × __+4=20 6 × =10 3 × __+2=8 6 × __+8=8 9 × __+7=20 6

Mary beth used the mapping rule to find the coordinates of a point that had been rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin. examine the steps to determine whether she made an error. m (3, –6) is rotated 90° counterclockwise. (x, y) → (–y, x) 1. switch the x- and y-coordinates: (6, –3) 2. multiply the new x-coordinate by –1: (6(–1), –3) 3. simplify: (–6, –3) .

Steve wants to develop a way to find the total cost of any item including sales tax. the sales tax in his city is 6%. his friend jenna writes the expression x + 6x where x is the cost of the item. explain whether her expression is correct based on the situation.
