Hello! I can help you with this!
a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.
b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.
Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.
Answer:
The constant of proportionality would just be 12.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation is already simplified enough to were the constant of proportionality is just the number attached to the x.
Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the values of y by substituting the values of x in the expression x^2 + 3x - 1.
So f(-4) = (-4)^2 + 3(-4) - 1 = 16-12-1 = 3
in the same way f(-3) = -1, f(-2) = -3, f(-1) = -3,
f(0) = -1 and f(1) = 3.
Now plot the points (-4, 3) , (-3, -1) and so on
Then you can read the values off this graph.
Answer:
16 spoonfuls
Step-by-step explanation:
Round off the 1 1/8 oz spoon capacity to 1 oz. Then divide 16 oz by 1 oz, obtaining the estimate 16 spoonfuls.
We are tasked to solve the three angles given that we have the measurements of the sides such as
a = Zack to Rachel distance
b = Rachel to Maddie distance
c = Maddie to Zack distance
a =3
b =2.5
c =4
Solving the angles we need to use Law of Cosines:
cos A = 2.5² + 4² -3² /2*2.5*4
A = 48.59°
cos B=3² + 4² - 2.5² / 2*3*4
B = 38.625°
C=180 - 48.59° - 38.625°
C= 92.79°
The three angles are 48.59°,38.63° and 92.79°.
