Sam opened a savings account with an initial deposit of $2,000. Since then, he has never made any other deposits or withdrawals.

His savings account earns 0.4% interest monthly and an annual bonus of 1.5% interest. Which equation gives the approximate amount, A(x), he has in his savings account as a function of x, the number of years since his initial deposit?
A(x) ≈ 2,000 + (1.059)x3

A(x) ≈ 2,000(1.019)x2

A(x) ≈ 2,000(1.065)x

A(x) ≈ 2,000(1.059)x2

Answer:

Third option:

A(x)\approx 2,000(1.065)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice if we invest 2,000 then the first month then after the first 0.4% interest is earned we will have in the account:

2,000(1+0.004) = 2,000(1.004)

I just applied the simple interest formula.

Then after the second month we will have:

2,000(1.004)(1.004) = 2,000(1.004)^2

And so on each month.

So at the end of the first year (12 months) we have:

2,000(1.004)^{12}

But we also earn an additional 1.5% in the year, so we will have:

2,000(1.004)^{12}(1.015)

At the end of the second year we will have:

2,000[(1.004)^{12}(1.015)]^2

At the end of the third year:

2,000[(1.004)^{12}(1.015)]^2

And so on,

So if the number of years is denoted with x, at the end of x years we will have the following amount in the savings:

2,000[(1.004)^{12}(1.015)]^x

We use our calculator to simplify that inside the brackets:

(1.004)^{12}(1.015)=1.06481

Rounding  to the third decimal place we get: 1.065

So notice the amount in the savings after x years will be:

2,000(1.065)^x

Since they want it in function notation we just write the A(x) that denotes the amount in the savings:

A(x)\approx 2,000(1.065)^x

A limited-edition soccer ball costs $30, and the sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost?
frez [133]

Answer:

$31.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will cost 100% of its price plus 6% of its price for a total of 106%.

To use percentages as a factor and multiply, they must be divide by 100, making the multiplication factor version of 106% 1.06.

Multiply the cost of the ball by your multiplication factor:

30 x 1.06 = 31.8

Money is written to two decimal places, making your answer $31.80
