The number of years she had her investment is after 3 years

<h3>How to determine the years of investment?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Principal Amount, P = $400
Interest Rate, r = 1.72%
Simple Interest, I = $20.64

The number of years (T) is calculated from the following simple interest formula

I = PRT

Substitute the given parameters in the above equation

20.64 = 400 * 1.72% * t

Express 1.72% as decimal without percentage

20.64 = 400 * 0.0172 * t

Evaluate the product

20.64 = 6.88 * t

Divide both sides by 6.88

20.64/6.88 = 6.88/6.88 * t

Evaluate the quotient

3 = t

Rewrite the equation as

t = 3

This means that she had her investment after 3 years

Hence, the number of years she had her investment is after 3 years

$\displaystyle h(x)=\int\limits_{1}^{\sqrt{x}}~\cfrac{z^2}{z^4+1}dz~\hspace{10em}\cfrac{dh}{du}\cdot \stackrel{chain~rule}{\cfrac{du}{dx}\implies \cfrac{dh}{dx}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ u=\sqrt{x}\implies \cfrac{du}{dx}=\cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\cfrac{dh}{dx}\implies \displaystyle \cfrac{d}{du}\left[ \int\limits_{1}^{u}~\cfrac{z^2}{z^4+1}dz \right]\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\implies \left[ \cfrac{u^2}{u^4+1} \right]\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{substituting~back}{\left[ \cfrac{(\sqrt{x})^2}{(\sqrt{x})^4+1} \right]\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}}\implies \cfrac{x}{x^2+1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2x^2+2}$
