Answer:
A(t) = 200+15t(1+0.02)^{t}
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the interest is calculated on the new balance every year.
Hence the formula used for compound interest is:
A = P(1+
^{nt}
where, A =Amount after t years
P =Principal amount
200 is the initial balance and Since, here the $15 is added to the balance each year. Therefore, P = 200+15t
r = rate each year (0.02)
t = time (in years) (t)
n = no. of times the interest is compounded in a year (n=1)
Therefore, the recursive formula is:
A(t) = 200+15t(1+0.02)^{t}
If you've started pre-calculus, then you know that the derivative of h(t)
is zero where h(t) is maximum.
The derivative is h'(t) = -32 t + 96 .
At the maximum ... h'(t) = 0
32 t = 96 sec
t = 3 sec .
___________________________________________
If you haven't had any calculus yet, then you don't know how to
take a derivative, and you don't know what it's good for anyway.
In that case, the question GIVES you the maximum height.
Just write it in place of h(t), then solve the quadratic equation
and find out what 't' must be at that height.
150 ft = -16 t² + 96 t + 6
Subtract 150ft from each side: -16t² + 96t - 144 = 0 .
Before you attack that, you can divide each side by -16,
making it a lot easier to handle:
t² - 6t + 9 = 0
I'm sure you can run with that equation now and solve it.
The solution is the time after launch when the object reaches 150 ft.
It's 3 seconds.
(Funny how the two widely different methods lead to the same answer.)

Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is the sum of terms with variables having positive integer exponents. Coefficient numbers need not be integers.
The term 3/x^4 = 3x^-4 is not such a term, so the expression containing it is not a polynomial.
