Answer:
Don't have enough infromation to answer that.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 4, because 4/5 is closer to 4 than it is 3 1/2.
2) 100
3) 5
Answer:
4250
Step-by-step explanation:
0.13 = 13%
1000×0.13=130
130×25= 3250 + 1000 = 4250
What I did:
You have to turn the percent to a decimal first
Then multiply the decimal by the first investment amount (1000)
then multiply that by the years that you have before retirement
You add that amount plus the 1000 you have started with
So
y=ax^2+bx+c
(x,y)
sub the points and solve
(4.28,6.48)
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)+c
(12.61,15.04)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)+c
well, for 3 variables, we need equations and therefor 3 points
maybe we are supposed to assume it starts at (0,0)
so then
0=a(0)^2+b(0)+c
0=c
so then
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
solve for a by subsitution
first equation, minut a(4.28)^2 from both sides
6.48-a(4.28)^2=b(4.28)
divide both sides by 4.28
(6.48/4.28)-4.28a=b
sub that for b in other equation
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+((6.48/4.28)-4.28a)(12.61)
expand
15.04 =a(12.61)^2+(81.7128/4.28)-53.9708a
minus (81.7128/4.28) both sides
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a(12.61)^2-53.9708a
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a((12.61)^2-53.9708)
(15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708))=a
that's the exact value of a
to find b, subsitute to get
(6.48/4.28)-4.28((15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708)))=b
if we aprox
a≈-0.038573167896199
b≈1.6791118501845
so then the equation is
y=-0.038573167896199x²+1.6791118501845x
