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

Warm-Up: Perpendicular Bisector<br> 1.<br> What is WY? Explain your reasoning.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: WY = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to WX being a Perpendicular Bisector WY = WZ

4x - 5 = 2x + 11

Add 5 to both sides

4x = 2x + 16

Subtract 2x from both sides

2x = 16

Divide by 2

x = 8

So 4x - 5 of x = 8

4*8 = 32 - 5 =27

1. Peyton has a credit card with an annual rate of 24.7% compounded monthly. She used the credit card to purchase cleaning suppl
enyata [817]

Answer:

Total interest = $3.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she can pay $72 each month we can divide the payments on monthly basis till all the money is paid.

The annual interest rate is 24.7%, so the monthly rate will be 24.7 ÷ 12= 2.058%

For the first month

With payment of $72 the remaining amount will be 189.56 - 72 = $117.56

Interest paid will be 0.02058 * 117.56 = $2.42

Total amount owed now will be 117.56 + 2.42 = $119.98

For the second month another payment of $72 is made

The remaining will be 119.98 - 72 = $47.98

Interest charged will be 0.02058 * 47.98 = $0.99

The amount owed will be 47.98 + 0.99 = $48.97

In the third month she will pay the remaining $47.98 which is within her monthly limit

Total interest paid = Sum of Amount paid each month - Initial amount spent

Total interest = {(72 * 2) +48.97} - 189.56 = $3.41
