Answer:

C. $538,021.66

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the money Seth withdraws was compounded every quarter for 35 years. So, we get,

Amount withdrawn every quarter, P = $4567

Rate of interest, r  = \frac{0.0101}{4} = 0.002525

Time period, n = 35 × 4 = 140

Now, as we know the formula for annuity as,

P=\frac{r \times PV}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}

where P = installments, PV = present value, r = rate of interest and n = time period.

This gives, PV=\frac{P \times [1-(1+r)^{-n}]}{r}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-(1+0.002525)^{-140}]}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-(1.002525)^{-140}]}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-0.7021]}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times 0.2975}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{1358.68}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=538,091.08

So, the closest answer to initial value of the account is $538,021.66

Hence, option C is correct.

A=P \frac{1-(1+ \frac{r}{t} )^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} }; where A is the initial value, P is the periodic withdrawal, r is the rate, t is the number of compounding in a year, n is the number of years.

A=P \frac{1-(1+ \frac{r}{t} )^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} }  \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-(1+ \frac{0.0101}{4} )^{-35 \times 4}}{ \frac{0.0101}{4} } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-(1+ 0.002525)^{-140}}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-(1.002525)^{-140}}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-0.7025}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{0.2975}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times 117.8 \\ =$538,021.66
Therefore, initial value = $538,021.66

Find X intercept of f(x)=2(x-4)^2+2
Fofino [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2( x - 4) ^{2}  + 2 \\ f(x) = 2({x}^{2}  - 8x + 16) + 2 \\ f(x) = 2 {x}^{2}  - 16x + 32 + 2 \\ f(x) = 2 {x}^{2}  - 16x + 34
