Question

This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B.

Part A
WASTE Suppose the waste generated by nonrecycled paper and cardboard products in tons y after x days can be
approximated by the function y = 1000(2)0.3x

Answer 1

The rate of change of y is 2 for each period of 0.3 units.

Explanation:

The function y = 1000(2)0.3x is an exponential function that can be used to approximate the waste generated by nonrecycled paper and cardboard products in tons y after x days. The initial value of y is 1000, representing the y-intercept.
