Hello guys, I'm new here. I found this site upon searching for math help websites, and I'm glad I did. Here's the deal, I'm in a credit recovery course for Algebra 1, because I failed it in 9th grade. Well, in about a week, I'm supposed to be starting my Senior year, and I need the credit to graduate, so I was enrolled in an online credit recovery program through Keystone Academy Online. Needless to say, I'm doing very poorly. I'm (barely) failing the course, and I'm really discouraged. I excel at all of my English classes, but math has never been my forte. I've had friends help me, I even went to a tutor, and what they all taught me never stuck in my mind. At this point, I just want to pass it so I can take Algebra 2 this year and graduate. I'm almost finished the credit recovery courses, but I have about 10 more (8 question) quizzes and two tests to take. Can anyone please help me? I'm very discouraged about this, and I won't have an issue with Algebra 2, as my Algebra 2 class is going to be a 1-on-1 independent study with my math teacher, so I'll get constant help. I'm going to post pictures of a bunch of the problems that I'm struggling with, if anyone would be so kind as to help me out. If anyone takes the time to help me out here, I would greatly appreciate it. If possible, can you please explain the process(es) that you went through to solve the problems. Ignore the full-screen thumbnail or any repeat problems in the thumbnails at the bottom. They were failed attempts at uploading better quality pictures, and I can't seem to find a way to delete them.
Problems with graph I'll post pictures of, word problems I'll write out
10) The amount of money in a bank account with an initial balance of $15,000 earns 3% per year. In an exponential model of the form y = A*B^x, which value would represent B in the function?
a) 15,000
b) 3
c) 1.30
d) 1.03
11) A $20,000 business computer depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. Which equation would model the value of the computer?
a) y = 20000(0.15)^x
b) y = 20000(0.85)^x
c) y = 20000(1.15)^x
d) y = 20000 + 15x
That's all for now :/ If anyone is willing to 1-on-1 tutor/help me, I can give you my Skype and we can IM so I don't flood the forums. I'm sorry for all the pictures and everything, but I'm kind of stressing out, as I've exhausted every other way of passing this. Asking for help from friends, watching Khan academy videos, going over lessons over and over. Everything. Thank you so much, if anyone helps me with this.
