The simplified rational number for this equation is 7x^3/15
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 1 = 1³/₅(x - 2) Point - Slope Form
y - 1 = 1³/₅(x) - 1³/₅(2)
y - 1 = 1³/₅x - 3¹/₅
+ 1 + 1
y = 1³/₅x - 2¹/₅ Slope - Intercept Form
-1³/₅x - y = 1³/₅x - 1³/₅x - 2¹/₅
-1³/₅x - y = -2¹/₅
-1(-1³/₅x - y) = -1(-2¹/₅)
-1(-1³/₅x) + 1(y) = 2¹/₅
1³/₅x - y = 2¹/₅ Standard Form
1³/₅(0) - y = 2¹/₅
0 - y = 2¹/₅
-y = 2¹/₅
-1 -1
y = -2¹/₅ Y - Intercept
(x, y) = (0, -2¹/₅)
Using the formula of P(1 + r)^n = x where p represents the initial value, r represents the rate and n represents the number of years and x is our final output. We want to find P so we have to make it the subject of the equation.
1 + 0.04 = 1.04
1.04^18 = 2.025816515
Then divide the total amount by this to get 185,110.5454
Therefore the answer is $185,110.55
Hope this helps! :)
