Answer:
a) $520
b) $580
c) Interest amount is same each year
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Georgie put $500 in her savings account, earning interest at a rate of 4% each year. She did not make any more deposits or withdrawals.
To find - a) How much money was in the account after one year?
b) How much money was in the account after 4 years?
c) Was the amount of money earned in interest the same or different each year?
Proof -
Here given that,
Principal amount = $500
rate of interest = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04
Now,
a)
Amount = P [ 1 + RT ]
= 500 [ 1 + 0.04(1)]
= 500 [ 1 + 0.04] = 520
⇒Amount = $520
b)
Amount = P [ 1 + RT ]
= 500 [ 1 + 0.04(4)]
= 500 [ 1 + 0.16] = 580
⇒Amount = $580
c)
In 2nd year,
Amount = P [ 1 + RT ]
= 500 [ 1 + 0.04(2)]
= 500 [ 1 + 0.08] = 540
⇒Amount = $540
Now,
Interest in 1st year = 520 - 500 = 20
Interest in 2nd year = 540 - 520 = 20
So,
The interest amount is same each year
If they have the same charge
x+x+x+x+x+x+x=-42
7x=-42
x=-6
so to check our answer
-6-6-6-6-6-6-6=-42
-12-12-12-6=-42
-24-18=-42
-42=-42
The earning of the salesperson is an illustration of a linear function.
The possible functions in the two scenarios are: 
and 
The function is given as:
When the base salary is increased, a possible function is:
This is so, because 2500 is greater than 2000
When the commission rate is decreased, a possible function is:
This is so, because 0.05 is less than 0.1
So, the possible functions in the two scenarios are:
and
See attachment for the graphs of both functions
