To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.

Assuming that the 4.8% interest rate is an annual interest rate, then, after one year, with a principal of $3,000 we would be able to win 4.8% of $3000:
Divide 144 over 12 to find the monthly earnings:
Therefore, with a principal of $3,000 we would be earning $12 interest in 1 month.
For the earnings on the first month to be equal to $10, then you would have to win $120 annually, and $120 must be 4.8% of the principal. To find which quantity satisfies that 4.8% of it is equal to $120, divide 120 over 4.8%:
Therefore, the principal must be equal to $2500 for you to win $10 on the first month, and it would indeed be correct to say that if you open an account with $3000 you will earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.
You can solve this problem by using the Gauss method. The Gauss method is a method where you can add the first and last numbers together, and then multiply by how many times that appears. Here, the sum of the first and last number is -11. In this sequence, it would appear ten times (since there are ten terms and the terms are used twice in every eleven). -11 * 5 is -55, so that means the answer to this question is -55.
First of all, how do you buy exactly 15.5 pizzas?
what is a 0.5 pizza?
anyway
cost=cost per pizza times number of pizzas
cost per pizza=10.50
number of pizzas=15.5
cost=10.50 times 15.5
cost=162.75
total cost is $162.75
