Hello! I can help you with this!

a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.

b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.

Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.

If you know the number of yards for a measurement, you can change that measure to meters by multiplying the number of yards by 0
guajiro [1.7K]
Question 1)

Let "y" denotes the number of yards and "m" denotes the number of meters. According to the give statement, measurement in yards can be changed to measurement in meters by multiplying the measure in yards by 0.9144.

So,

Measure in Meter = 0.9144 x Measure in Yards
m = 0.9144y

Question 2)

We are to convert 7200 yards into meters. Using the values in above equation we can write:

m = 0.9144 x 7200
m = 6583.68 meters

This means 7200 yards are equivalent to 6583.68 meters..

Question 3)

We are to convert 2500 meters to yards.
Using the value in above equation, we get:

2500=0.9144y
⇒
y = 2500/0.9144
y = 2734.03 yards

So this means 2500 meters are equivalent to 2734.03 yards.
