This is a compound interest problem, therefore s(t) should be in the form:
where:
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate
Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.
Now, we can calculate r:
![r = \sqrt[t]{ \frac{s}{a} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bt%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs%7D%7Ba%7D%20%7D%20)
![r = \sqrt[5]{ \frac{560.50}{245} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B560.50%7D%7B245%7D%20%7D%20)
= 1.18
Therefore, the correct answers are a = 245 and r = 1.18
where:
t = time in years
s(t) = the value of your item after t years
a = the initial value of your item
r = rate
Therefore, we already know that a = 245$.
Now, we can calculate r:
= 1.18
Therefore, the correct answers are a = 245 and r = 1.18
General Idea:
When we are given a point P(x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by P' (kx, ky)
Applying the concept:
In the diagram given, the coordinate of C is (6, 3). Triangle ABC is being dilated with the center of dilation at the origin. The image of C, point C' has coordinates of (7.2, 3.6).
If C (x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by C' (kx, ky)
We know &
Substituting 6 for x in the equation , we get
.
Dividing 6 on both sides
Simplifying fractions on both sides
Point A from the diagram is (-3, 3)
x-coordinate of A' =
y-coordinate of A' =
Point A' is given by (-3.6, 3.6)
Conclusion:
<u>Scale factor of dilation is 1.2</u>
<u>The coordinates of point A' is (-3.6, 3.6)</u>
