Answer:
$1136.60
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for exponential growth is f(x) = a(1 + r)^x where a is the initial value, r is the growth rate, and x is the number of time intervals.
We know that Mr. Paris starts with an $1800 initial value, so we can substitute that into the equation:
f(x)=1800(1 + r)^x
We also know the time intervals is 6 months. So that can be substituted as well:
f(x)=1800(1 + r)^6
They told you that the growth rate is 8.5%, which is 0.085 of 1.
f(x)=1800(1 + 0.085)^6
Add the 2 values in the parentheses and you get 1.085
f(x)=1800(1.085)^6
Now solve.
Order of operations requires you to raise 1.085 to the 6th power before multiplying by 1800. So then you have this:
1800(1.63146751) = 2936.64152. That rounds to 2936.60
So $2936.60 is the total amount of money in the bank account, but were looking for the interest earned, which is the difference between the end value and the initial value.
$2936.60 - $1800 = $1136.60

The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6
Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.
We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.
For example: 2 ÷ 1/5
2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.
1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5
In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
1/5 ⇒ 5/1
Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10
So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10

For the answer to the questions above,
A) Parrots are following a Geometric Progression of 15% increase.
20(1.15), 20(1.15)², 20(1.15)³,
Function = 20(1.15)^n Where n is at the end of year, n =1, 2, 3, ..
Snakes are increasing by 4.
28, 32, 36,....
Function = 24 + 4n n = number of end year, n =1, 2, 3,...
<span>B) After 10 years: </span>
Parrot = 20(1.15)¹⁰ = 80.91115471
Snakes = 24 + 4(10) = 64
<span>C) After what time they are the same: </span>
We use trial and error:
Test: n 20(1.15^n) (24 + 4n)
1 23 28
2 26.45 32
<span> 3 30.41 36 </span>
4 34.98 40
5 40.23 44
6 46.26 48
7 53.20 52
8 61.18 56
9 70.36 60
After year 7, the Parrots increases far more.
<span>At year 7 they are roughly the same.</span>
