Because we can transform circle A into circle B by using transformations, we conclude that circle A and B are similar.

<h3>How to prove that the two circles are similar?</h3>

We know that two figures are similar if one is a transformation of the other. So let's find the transformations that we need to apply to circle A to get circle B.

First, let's move the center. We can see that we need to translate circle A 5 units down and 3 units to the left.

Now, the radius of circle A is 5 units, while the radius of circle B is 2 units, then we have a scale factor k such that:

k*5 units = 2 units

k = 2/5

Then, if we apply the transformations to circle A.

shift of 5 units down.
shift of 3 units left.
dilation of scale factor 2/5.

We get circle B, so circle A and circle B are similar.

Well, her initial investment happened at day 0, namely x = 0, let's check,

$\bf M(x)= 4.96(2.18)^x\qquad \boxed{x=0}\qquad M(0)= 4.96(2.18)^0
\\\\\\
M(0)= 4.96(1)\implies M(0)=4.96$
