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: Not 100% sure but this is what I think.
-4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(5, -1) (15, −9)
1Y - 2Y / 1X - 2X = SLOPE
-1 + 9 / 5 - 15 = 8/-10 = -8/10 = -4/5
Answer:
12 correct answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Since in the main part she scores 8.3 points for each question she answers correctly, we can assume that the number of questions she answers correctly=a
Therefor, the total number of points she achieved in the math test in the main part alone can be expressed as:
Total score(main part)=8.3×a=8.3a points
She also solved a bonus question worth=11 points
Consider expression 1 below
The total score in the whole test=Total score in the main part+Bonus points, where;
Total score in the whole test=110.6 points
Total score in the main part=8.3a points
Bonus points=11 points
Substituting the values in expression 1:
8.3a+11=110.6
8.3a=110.6-11
8.3a/8.3=99.6/8.3
a=12
Number of correct answers in the main part=a=12
The sequence above is geometric progression.
The nth term of such sequence is given by;
Tn = ar∧(n-1),
Where a⇒first term and
r⇒common ratio
So, 1st term = 5×1.25∧(1-1) = 5×1.25∧0 =5
2nd term = 5×1.25∧(2-1) = 5×1.25 = 6.25
3rd term = 5×1.25∧(3-1) = 5×1.25² = 7.8125
4th term = 5×1.25∧(4-1) =5×1.25³ = 9.765625
5th term = 5×1.25∧(5-1) = 5×1.25∧4 = 12.20703125
6th term = 5×1.25∧(6-1) = 5×1.25∧5 = 15.25878909
Answer:
8a+5b-9
Step-by-step explanation:
(8a+2b-4)+(3b-5)
8a+2b+3b-4-5
8a+5b-9
