This is a growth exponential equation.
It can be solved 2 ways, but one of them is long and cumbersome and not worth the effort. You could take 2% of the base number and keep doing it 8 times.
The other way is to realize that 100$ + 2% of 100 dollars can be written as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02 and that can be written as
100( 1 + 0.02 ) = 100(1.02) Now if you want this to be raised 8 times, it will look like this
y = 100(1.02)^(n - 1) for any number of weeks
y(8) = 100(1.02)^7 = 114.87
So at week 1 she has 100 dollars and at week 8 she has 114.87 dollars.
CommentRealize that if her boss does not want to give her compounded interest that she could still make
Ln = L

= 100 + (n - 1)*0.02*100
L

= 100 + 7*0.02*100 = 100 + 14. = 114
By compounding she makes a whole 0.87$ more.
Taxi fare in Tampa costs a base fee of $4 plus an additional $0.85 for each mile traveled. 17 miles * . 85 = 14.45 + 4.00 = 18.45 would a person pay to take a taxi from work to home if the distance is 17 miles. This answer has been confirmed as correct and helpful.
Answer:
Shawn is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the quadratic function is g(x) = a(x - h)² + k
Here (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Since this parabola passes through (0, 0), (1, 9) and (-1, 9), axis of symmetry is x = 0 and the vertex is (0, 0).
Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,
g(x) = a(x - 0)²+ 0
g(x) = ax²
for a point (1, 9) which lies on the graph,
9 = a(1)²
a = 9
g(x) = 9x² (here a > 1)
Therefore, f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 9 to form g(x).
Shawn is correct.
