We are given the following information

Investment = $5200

Annual interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042

Final amount = $16,500

Number of years = 27.7 years

Number of compoudings = quartely = 4

The student uses the following model

V(t)=5200(1.014)^{3t}

The general formula for compound interest is given by

V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

As you can see, the number of compoundings is incorrect (3 vs 4)

The interest rate is also incorrect.

Let us substitute the given values into the above formula

\begin{gathered} V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ V(t)=5200(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{4\cdot27.7} \\ V(t)=5200(1+0.0105)^{110.8} \\ V(t)=5200(1.0105)^{110.8} \\ V(t)=\$16543.5^{} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the final amount is approximately $16,543.5

Multiply. (2x2 + 4x - 3)(x2 - 2x + 5)
BigorU [14]
For a moment, let y=x^2-2x+5. Then by the distributive property,

(2x^2+4x-3)p=2x^2p+4xp-3p


Again by the distributive property,

2x^2p=2x^2(x^2-2x+5)=2x^4-4x^3+10x^2

4xp=4x(x^2-2x+5)=4x^3-8x^2+20x

-3p=-3(x^2-2x+5)=-3x^2+6x-15

Taking everything together, we get

(2x^2+4x-3)(x^2-2x+5)=(2x^4-4x^3+10x^2)+(4x^3-8x^2+20x)+(-3x^2+6x-15)
(2x^2+4x-3)(x^2-2x+5)=2x^4-x^2+26x-15

But if you mean
7m- - 4
As in - + - = +
Then this is your answer
