Answer:
The only non-zero fixed point is: x = 9/A.
The Step-by-step explanation:
A fixed point of a function is a points that is mapped to itself by the function; g(x) = x. Therefore, in order to find the fixed point of the given function we need to solve the following equation:
g(x) = x
x(10 - Ax) = x
10x - Ax² = x
10x - x -Ax² = 0
9x - Ax² = 0
Ax² - 9x = 0
The solutions of this second order equation are:
x = 0 and x = 9/A.
Since we are only asked for the non-zero fixed points, the solution is: 9/A.

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.
To find percent error you use the following formula:
% error = (1.6 - 1.9)/1.9 * 100% = 15.79%
Answer:
2.25 km to go
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get this answer, you have to figure out how many km 10% is, 0.1125. Then multiply that by the remaining 20% because he already finished 80% of the trail. So, 0.1125 x 20 = 2.25.
Hope this helps! :)
