f(x)=40

x=8

so if x=2 it would be 40/8 which is 5

C

since the quantities vary directly then

x = kf(x) ( where k is the constant of variation )

to find k use the given condition , f(x) = 40 when x = 2

k = \frac{x}{f(x)} = \frac{8}{40} = \frac{1}{5}

thus x = \frac{1}{5}f(x)

when x = 2

f(x) = \frac{x}{k} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{5} } = 10

Samantha puts an initial $500 into a savings account. The account has a 4% annual compound interest rate. What is the function t
Licemer1 [7]
I use a bit of a different looking formula.

A(t)=P(1+r/n)^nt

P=amount of money. (500)
r= rate (in decimal. 4%=0.04)
n=number of times per year (1 in this problem)
t=amount of time. (5 years)

Plugged in it looks like this:

A(t)=500 (1+ 0.04/1)^1x5

Then I put it into my calculator like this:

0.04/1+ 0.04

Then add one to the above answer:

0.04+1=1.04

Then raise the above answer to the 1x5:

1.04^5=1.2166......

Then multiply the above answer by 500:

1.2166.... x 500=608.3264512

She has $608 after 5 years.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
