Answer:
N = 14348907
Step-by-step explanation:
81^5 = 3486784401
3486784401/243 = 14348907
Double Check
3486784401 / 14348907=243
So N = 14348907.
Year 1: 500 + 0.25*500 = 500 [1 + 0.25]
Year 2: 500*[ 1 + 0.25] * [1 + 0.25] = 500 [1 + 0.25]^2
Year x: 500 [1 + 0.25]^x
Option d: A(x) = 500[1 + .25]^x, where .25 is the interest rate
2/5 + 2/4 = 8/20 + 10/20 = 18/20 = 9/10
