Jane is studying the rate at which the sale of a particular brand of chocolate has increased over the years. The graph below shows the number of bars sold, y, in thousands, after x years since the year 2000: graph of y equals 15 multiplied by 1.1 to the power of x

What does the y-intercept of the graph represent?

A) Price of a bar of chocolate
B) Number of bars sold in 2000
C) Number of bars sold before 2000
D) Rate of increase in the sale of chocolates

D) Rate of increase in the sale of chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

I was about to choose B) before re-reading the question back and notice that it says "the graph below shows the number of bars sold, y, in thousands, after x years since the year 2000"

histogram or dot plot?

step-by-step explanation:

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
