Answer:
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
In this problem we have
(h,k)=(1,-4)
substitute

we have
An x-intercept of (-1,0)
substitute and solve for a




The equation is

<u><em>Verify the y-intercept</em></u>
For x=0


The y-intercept is the point (0,-3) -----> is correct
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
(3/8)³ = (3/8)(3/8)(3/8)
Multiply across:
(3/8) x (3/8) = 9/64
Simplify:
(9/64)(3/8) = 27/512
27/512 is your fraction answer (cannot be reduced).
To find the decimal answer, divide:
27/512 = 0.05
0.05 (rounded) is your decimal answer

<span>Amount spent at start C = $300
Rate = 3% = 0.03
Number of periods = 3 years
Future Value at the maturity FV = 300 x (1 + 0.03) ^3= 300 x 1.0927 = 328
The correct answer would be 328.14</span>
I think it's 11.66 if you use the pythagorean theorem
