So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is
with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such: 
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y: 
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.
Answer:
It is a right angled triangle.
so
tan32 = p/b
or, tan32 = x/5
or, tan32×5 = x
so, x = 3.124
for 5 no. the answer is a. 3.124
For y,
cos32 = b/h
or, cos32 = 5/y
or, y = 5/cos32
so, y = 5.895
for 6 no. 5.895 is closest to 5.994, so the answer is c. 5.994.
