Problem 17, part A
i = simple interest = 900 dolars
p = principle = 1500 dollars
r = interest rate = 0.03 (decimal form of 3%)
t = time in years = unknown (leave it as t for now)
Plug in those values mentioned above and solve for t.
Simple interest formula
i = p*r*t
900 = 1500*0.03*t
900 = 45*t
900/45 = 45*t/45
20 = t
t = 20
Answer: 20 years=============================================
Problem 17, part B
p = 1500
r = 0.03
t = 5 years
A = p+p*r*t
A = 1500+1500*0.03*5
A = 1500+225
A = 1725
Answer: 1725 dollars=============================================
Problem 17, part C
Factor out the GCF p, then divide both sides by 1+rt
A = p+p*r*t
A = p*1+p*r*t
A = p*(1+rt)
A/(1+rt) = p*(1+rt)/(1+rt)
A/(1+rt) = p
p = A/(1+rt)
Answer: p = A/(1+rt)The right side is the fraction of A all over the quantity (1+rt) which may be more readable if written like so

If you're going to write it in the way p = A/(1+rt) then don't forget to use parenthesis.
If 3x>96, dividing both sides by 3 we get that x>32, therefore only E is an acceptable answer
Answer:
a=1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
from the point on the graph
x=4 and y=8
substitute them into the equation:
y=a(x-2) (2x+4)
you will get
8=a(4-2) (2(4)+4)
8=a(2) (8+4)
8=a(2) (12)
8=2a×12
8=24a
divide both sides by 24
8/24=24a/24
1/3=a or a=1/3
Answer:
The function would be
.This is in the general form
, where a is the initial value, b is the rate it increases by, and x is the amount of time. For our function, the initial value is 4 and the rate it increases by is 2.
