How many brothers does everyone here have?
Year 1: 500 + 0.25*500 = 500 [1 + 0.25]
Year 2: 500*[ 1 + 0.25] * [1 + 0.25] = 500 [1 + 0.25]^2
Year x: 500 [1 + 0.25]^x
Option d: A(x) = 500[1 + .25]^x, where .25 is the interest rate
Well Tristan better get it together
You would need to cross multiply. When you do that you get x^2-7x-8x+56. Once simplifying you get x^2-15x+56.
