Answer:
Option d. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is a exponential function of the form

where
a is the initial value
r is the growth rate
(1+r) is the base
x is the number of years
f(x) is the amount of money in a savings account
In this problem we have
a=$3,005
r=0.03=3%
(1+r)=1.03
therefore
3,005 represent the initial value ( the amount of money for the value of x equal to zero)
Narrowing it down it's either a or c because the other 2 choices open downward (negative a).
Graphing the 2 parabolas choice c is narrower.
c
Lines that are parallel have the same slope, and the given line (y = 6x - 5) has a slope of 6; we are looking for a line with a slope of 6.
To form an equation for a line, you need to know the y-intercept (the point at which the line intersects the y-axis). The first step to finding the y-intercept is to plot the given point. After you've done that, count six units up (this is our slope) and one to the right; plot the point. Lastly, draw the line by connecting the points and see where the line intersects the y-axis.
My graph shows that the line intersects the y-axis at -17. All that's left now is to put our information together into an equation. I'm assuming the problem wants the equation in slope-intercept form; slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so it would look like this:
y = 6x -17
Hope this helps.
Y=mx+b is the formula you use to find the answer
Answer:
3080+d > = 3300
Step-by-step explanation:
The first question to ask is how much money do they need in the fund?
They need the shipment costs plus the future shipment costs
2800+500 = 3300
They have 3080
Let d = how much they need to deposit
How much they have plus how much they need to deposit must be greater than or equal to how much they need.
3080+d > = 3300
