SOLUTION

Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the formula for calculating compound amount

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A = final compounded amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

STEP 2: Write the given data

Semiannually means that n will be 2

$P=14,800,r=\frac{6}{100}=0.06,n=2,t=4$

STEP 3: Calculate the compound amount

$\begin{gathered} A=14800(1+\frac{0.06}{2})^{2\times4}\Rightarrow A=14800(1+0.03)^{2\times4} \\ A=14800(1.03)^8 \\ A=14800\times1.266770081 \\ A=\text{\$}18,748.1972 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the compounded amount after 4 years is $18,748.1972

1. Use the graph of the rational function

Answer:

As $x \to -3^{+}, f(x) \to -\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

From the graph, we can conclude that:

The function has vertical asymptotes at $x=-3\ and\ x=2$

The function has horizontal asymptote at $f(x)=0$

Vertical asymptotes are those values of 'x' for which the functions tends towards infinity. Horizontal asymptote is the value of the function as the 'x' value tends to infinity.

Now, as $x \to -3^{+}$ means the right hand limit of the function at $x=-3$

From the graph, the right hand limit is the right side of the asymptote of the function at $x = -3$ . The right side shows that the function is tending towards negative infinity.
