Well, a fish can't drown, so were they fish in the first place?
This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:

where:
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate
Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.
Now, we can calculate r:

![r = \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bt%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs%7D%7Ba%7D%20%7D%20)
![r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B560.50%7D%7B245%7D%20%7D%20)
= 1.18
Therefore, the correct answers are
a = 245 and
r = 1.18
Answer:
Her first error was adding the wrong number to both sides. Instead of 4², it should be 2²
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, the number that needs to be added to both sides is (b/2)²
In this problem, b is 4. So, Carly should have added 2² to both sides, but she added 4² instead.
So, her first error was adding 4² to both sides instead of 2²
