17-10= j i really don't know i just guessed
A. you plug in to a calculator, which will give 1840.986 so you need to round up to 1840.99. if you truncate it to .98 then he won't reach 2000 in 3 years
b. for this one if you look at the equation given to find the principle it is principle = result (1+rate) ^ -time
if you re arrange this you get result=principle (1+rate)^time
so result = 1840.99(1.028)^5
= 2113.57
3 possible solutions.
The reason is because of the degree, which is 3
It would be a i hope this helps
