B is the answer to this question
X=132
To find y
180-132= 48
180-68-48=64
y=64
Use the given values in the compound interest formula to solve for time, n.
A is the final amount of money, $2800
P is the initial or starting amount $1900
i is the interest rate as a decimal 0.025
n is time in years since it annual.
2800 = 1900(1 + 0.025)^n
2800 = 1900(1.025)^n
2800/1900 = (1.025)^n
28/19 = (1.025)^n
take the natural log of both sides to solve for exponent.
ln(28/19) = ln(1.025^n)
power rule of logarithmic moves exponent
ln(28/19) = n*ln(1.025)
ln(28/19) / ln(1.025) = n
put into a calculator
15.7 years = n
You follow the rules for the quadratic formula, where
x= (-b +- √(b²-4ac) )/2a
Filling a, b and c in yields
x = (8 +- √(64-164) ) / 2 =>
x = (8 - √-100)/2 or x = (4 + √-100)/2
Well, √-100 = 10i, so then you simplify to the last answer, D:
x = 4-5i or x=4+5i
