A linear function represents this situation, because Justin’s money does not compound, and his savings increase by the same amount each week.
The equation for a parabola is y = ((x - a)^2) + b. There is a shift one to the left (we’ll call that a) and one shift down (we’ll call that b) for the point (-1,-1). Shifts to the left and right are replaced with a and shifts up and down are replaced with b. y = ( x - (-1))^2 - 1. Simplify: y = (( x + 1)^2) - 1
The remaining area is 20% of the previous area.
Hope this Helps!
