Question

Victoria has $200 of her birthday gift money saved at home, and the amount is modeled by the function h(x) = 200. She reads about a bank that has savings accounts that accrue interest according to the function s(x) = (1.05)x−1. Explain how Victoria can combine the two functions to model the total amount of money she will have in her bank account as interest accrues after she deposits her $200. Justify your reasoning.

Answer 1

Solution :

Amount of money Victoria has = $200

The amount modelled by function = h(x) = 200

According to the function,

s(x) = (1.05)x - 1

It means that the total amount of the interest that Victoria will receive s(x) is equal to original amount of $200 which multiplied by the rate of interest (1.05) and then multiplied by the time that Victoria keeps the money in the bank (x) minus 1.
