This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:
s(t) = a(r)^{t}

where: 
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate

Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.

Now, we can calculate r:
r^{t}=\frac{s}{a}
r =  \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }
r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }
     = 1.18

Therefore, the correct answers are a = 245 and r = 1.18

I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.

 PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

 For this case the area is given by:

 A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722

 Rewriting we have:

 616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722

 x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0

 x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0

 Solving the polynomial we have:

 x1 = 2.04

 x2 = -52.04

 We take the positive root:

 x = 2.04 inches:

 Answer:

 The width of the border to the nearest inch is:

 x = 2inches

lara31 [8.8K]

Hi there,

2400 + 1632 = 4032

3 * 192 = 576

4032 - 576 =>

3532 - 76 =>

3532 + 24 - 76 - 24

3556 - 100

3456


3456 / 576 => 6

Therefore, 6 hours of sprayer work

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
