Answer:
5.7 is the answer I had the same question in my test
When evaluating, you must combine like terms first, so subtract 4 from 1/2 then multiply that number by -7/4, this will give you the value of x.
You can do this using synthetic division, which is the easiest way. If x - 2 = 0, then x = 2. That 2 will go outside the "box" and the leading coefficients of the terms in the polynomial will go inside the "box". 2 (1 -3 -10 24). Bring down the first number, the
1. Multiply that 1 by the 2 to get 2. Put that 2 up under the -3 and add to get
-1. Multiply that -1 by the 2 to get -2. Put that =-2 up under the -10 and add to get
-12. Multiply that -12 by the 2 to get -24. Put the -24 up under the 24 and add to get 0. That means that x - 2 is a factor of the polynomial. What's left, the bolded numbers, are the coefficients of a new polynomial that is one degree less than the polynomial you started with. In other words, when we divide your polynomial by x-2, you get

.
ANSWER
$1,413.81
EXPLANATION
The compound interest formula is given by:

Where P=900 is the balance in the account, t=10 is the number of years and r=0.0462 is the rate.
We substitute the values in to the formula to get:


This simplifies to:

Therefore $1413.81 will be in the account after 10 years.
