This is an exponential decay problem.
Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time
where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.
The rate is also given as 5%.
The equation becomes:
12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x
12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x
Divide each side by 13000:
12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000
12/13 = 0.95^x
Use the natural log function:
x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)
x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000
Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.
Roots: - √5 , √5, and - 3
=> these are factors of the polynomial: (x + √5), (x - √5), and (x + 3).
Multiply those three factors:
(x + √5) (x - √5) ( x + 3) = [x^2 - 5] ( x + 3 ) = x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15
Therefore the polynomial x^2 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15 is a polynomial with the given roots.
Answer: option B. x^3 + 3x^2 - 5x - 15
