For this case we have the following equation:
 h (t) = at ^ 2 + v * t + h0
 Substituting values we have:
 h (t) = - 16 * t ^ 2 + 60 * t + 3
 We equate the equation to zero:
 -16 * t ^ 2 + 60 * t + 3 = 0
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = -0.04935053979258153
 t2 = 3.7993505397925817
 We are left with the positive root and round:
 t2 = 3.8 s
 Answer:
 
t = 3.8 s

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: $187 will be in the account after 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $100

r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 6 years

Therefore,.

A = 100(1 + 0.11/1)^1 × 6

A = 100(1 + 0.11)^6

A = 100(1.11)^6

A = $187

cluponka [151]
The correct answer is option A. Erica is correct in saying that the two lines are not necessarily the same and we should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. <span>Two lines with equal slopes could be the same line, but only if they have the same y-intercept.</span>
