400 should be the answer. Hope this helps!
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.
Answer:
1. The expected pay-out on each policy is 250 * 1/90 + 12000 * 1/100 + 17000 * 1/400 = $165. So that's what the premium would have to be in order to get a profit of 0.
2. The profit per policy is the premium the company receives minus the expected payout = 350 - 165 = $185.
3. The expected profit on 375 policies would be 375 * 185 = $69375

Answer:
-1772
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as;
Tn = a+(n-1)d
a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
From the sequence
a = 28
d = 8-28 = -12-8 = -20
n =91(since we are looking for the 91st term)
Substrate
T91 = 28+(91-1)(-20)
T91 = 28+90(-20)
T91 = 28-1800
T91 = -1772
Hence the 91st term is -1772
