Answer:
$20.01
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2004–2012, the interest rate is 0.002%. In 2013, it is 0.004%. In 2014–2021, the interest rate is 0.002%. That is, in the 18 years between 2004 and 2021 (inclusive), the interest rate is 0.002% for 17 of them. The effective account multiplier is ...
(1.00002^17)(1.00004^1) = 1.00038006801
Then the account balance is ...
$20 × 1.00038006801 ≈ $20.01
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The annual interest earned on $20.00 is $0.0004. If the account balance is rounded to the nearest cent annually, at the end of the 18 years, the balance will still be $20.00. Not enough interest is earned in one year to increase the balance above $20. At the end of the 18 years, the amount of interest earned is 0.76¢ (a fraction of a penny) <em>only if there is no rounding in intervening years</em>.
Answers:
- C) x = plus/minus 11
- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.

Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
Seeing where the x and y diffreant on the line :)
Answer:
The solutions are −5 and 1 .
