Since this is a problem in exponential growth/decay, y = ab^x is the formula that will be used to solve this problem.
The initial value, "a", is the value you start out with and in this case, it is $2000.
The growth/decay factor is what "b" represents, and it is 4%. We need to change the percentage into a decimal, so we will take the percent symbol, change it into a decimal, and move it two places to the left. This is make it 0.04. The problem also mentions interest, implying an exponential growth. Therefore, you will add 0.04 by 1: 1+0.04 = 1.04.
The "x" represents an amount of time. It is 5 years. The equation should be written like this:
y = 2000(1.04)^5
y = 2433.30. When rounded to the nearest dollar, it is $2433.

14. C.
Step-by-step explanation:
A relation is a function if there is only one y assigned to each x.
That is if you have a set of points, there should be no repeated x value.
So looking at {(0,0),(-2,4),(-2,-4),(-3,7)} this is not a function because you have two x's that are the same. A.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The y-intercept is where the graph goes through the y-axis at. It goes through at -1 so b=-1.
The slope is rise/run. So starting from the y-intercept (0,-1) we need to find another point to count the rise & run to... How about (3,1)? That works. You can do the counting if you want. You could also use the slope formula.
To use the slope formula, I just like to line the points up vertically and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over the 1st difference.
(0,-1)
-(3,1)
--------
-3 -2
So the slope is -2/-3 or just 2/3.
So the equation is y=2/3 x-1
C.
The summation of the angle measures of a polygon is given by:
180(n - 2).
Thus, we need to find: 1800 = 180(n - 2)
10 = n - 2
n = 12
Therefore, the shape is a dodecagon, and the number of sides it has is 12.
X/8-1/2=6
X/8=6+1/2=13/2
X/8=52/8
X=52
