D- $48.50
you have to subtract the largest and the smallest number to find the range
The scooter travels at 15 ft/s
at 3 seconds, it travels 45 feet
4 seconds, 60 feet
5 seconds, 75 feet
Remember
(x^m)(x^n)=x^(m+n)
and
if a^m=a^n, where a=a then n=m
(x^4)(x^n)=x^5
(x^4)(x^n)=x^(4+n)
x^(4+n)=x^5
therefor
4+n=5
minus 4
n=1
The answer is $16216987.55 (IMPORTANT: This is the answer assuming that the interest rate is annually. The quesiton says 'continuously' so I was a bit confused)
To solve this problem, you can use the compound interest formula.
Here it is once you plug in the numbers: A = 5,000,000 ( 1 + .04) ^30
Just solve the equation to find the solution.
Trigonometry as taught is mostly about memorizing two lousy triangles, namely half a square and half an equilateral triangle. This one is half an equilateral triangle.
The respective opposite sides of the 30/60/90 triangle are in ratio 
A sine of √3/2 is an opposite of √3 and a hypotenuse of 2, so opposite and hypotenuse of the 60 degree angle. (It's the mama bear, in the middle, just right.)

In the end you just have memorize the two tired triangles of trig.
