Hello! I can help you with this!
a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.
b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.
Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.
Step-by-step explanation: Standard form is when we take a polynomial and we write it in order from the greatest degree to the smallest degree.
Let's look at an example which I provided in the image attached.
In this polynomial, I have 2 degrees, 1 degree, and 1 degree above the <em>x</em>.
This is not in the form of least to greatest so I need to write it in descending order. Our constant which in this is 27 will be last in polynomial.
So, you look at the degree of each term and then write each in term in order of degree from greatest to least (descending order).

Answer:
20. J, 21. B
Step-by-step explanation:
20. P = 15 (2) + 8 (2)
P = 36 ft.
21. 15 - 6 = 9 ft.
