Answer:
D. $512,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Well if the balance doubles every 5 years, then dividing 40 by 5 gives us the number of times the money will double, which is 8. We can then turn this into the equation 
. 
can be simplified to 256. Multiply that by 2000 and we get our answer, 512000. Hope this helps!

I don't really understand this question do u have a pic
Answer:
- Part A: The price of fuel A is decreasing by 12% per month.
- Part B: Fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
Explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
The function 
calculates the price of fuel A each month by multiplying the price of the month before by 0.88.
Month price, f(x)
1 2.27 (0.88) = 1.9976 ≈ 2.00
2 2.27(0.88)² = 1.59808 ≈ 1.60
3 2.27(0.88)³ = 1.46063 ≈ 1.46
Then, the price of fuel A is decreasing.
The percentage per month is (1 - 0.88) × 100 = 12%, i.e. the price decreasing by 12% per month.
<u>Part B.</u>
<u>Table:</u>
m price, g(m)
1 3.44
2 3.30
3 3.17
4 3.04
To find if the function decreases with a constant ration divide each pair con consecutive prices:
- ratio = 3.30 / 3. 44 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.17 / 3.30 = 0.960 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.04 / 3.17 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
Thus, the price of fuel B is decreasing by (1 - 0.96) × 100 =4%.
Hence, the fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
Explanation: turn the percentage into a decimal, like for number 4 make it 0.40
then divide it by 30
Really hopes this helps!
Table:
x y
-3 0.5
-2 1
-1 2.5
0 5
1 8.5
Now, y = ax^2 + bx + c
Start replacing x = 0 and y = 5
5 = a(0) + b(0) + c => c = 5.
Now, replace any other two pair of data:
(-2, 1) => -1 = a(-2)^2 + b(-2)
-1 = 4a - 2b
(1, 8.5) => 8.5 = a(1)^2 + b(1)
8.5 = a + b
Solve the system
4a - 2b = - 1
a + b = 8.5
=>
4a - 2b = - 1
2a + 2b = 17
-------------------------
6a = 16
=> a = 16 / 6 = 8/3
b = 8.5 - a = 17/2 - 8/3 = 35/6
=> y = (8/3)x^2 + (35/6)x + 5 <--------- answer
