I use a bit of a different looking formula.

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

P=amount of money. (500)
r= rate (in decimal. 4%=0.04)
n=number of times per year (1 in this problem)
t=amount of time. (5 years)

Plugged in it looks like this:

A(t)=500 (1+ 0.04/1)^1x5

Then I put it into my calculator like this:

0.04/1+ 0.04

Then add one to the above answer:

0.04+1=1.04

Then raise the above answer to the 1x5:

1.04^5=1.2166......

Then multiply the above answer by 500:

1.2166.... x 500=608.3264512

She has $608 after 5 years.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Match each quadratic equation with the best way to solve it.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

5x^2 + 12x -3 =0 ---------> solve by quadratic formula

x^2 -4x = 8          ----------> solve by completing the square

4x^2 -25 = 0        ----------> solve by square root method

x^2-5x+ 6 = 0       -----------> solve by factoring

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5x^2 + 12x -3 =0

The best way to solve this equation is quadratic formula as all the terms in the equation have coefficients it will be convenient to solve it through quadratic formula.

2. x^2 -4x = 8

The best way to solve this equation is by completing the square as the factors cannot be made directly.

3. 4x^2 -25 = 0

the best way to solve this equation is to solve by square root method as the 25 and 4 are perfect squares.

4. x^2-5x+ 6 = 0

The best way to solve this equation is to solve by factoring as it can clearly be seen that it is convenient to make factors ..

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3 - 2x = -1.5x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 2x on both sides:                    3 = 0.5x
  2. Divide 0.5 on both sides:               6 = x
  3. Rewrite:                                           x = 6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in<em> x</em>:                    3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
  2. Multiply:                               3 - 12 = -9
  3. Subtract:                              -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
