Answer:

It can be determined if a quadratic function given in standard form has a minimum or maximum value from the sign of the coefficient "a" of the function. A positive value of "a" indicates the presence of a minimum point while a negative value of "a" indicates the presence of a maximum point

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that describes a parabola is a quadratic function

The standard form of a quadratic function is given as follows;

f(x) = a·(x - h)² + k, where "a" ≠ 0

When the value of part of the function a·x² after expansion is responsible for the curved shape of the function and the sign of the constant "a", determines weather the the curve opens up or is "u-shaped" or opens down or is "n-shaped"

When "a" is negative, the parabola downwards, thereby having a n-shape and therefore it has a maximum point (maximum value of the y-coordinate) at the top of the curve

When "a" is positive, the parabola opens upwards having a "u-shape" and therefore, has a minimum point (minimum value of the y-coordinate) at the top of the curve.

Create an exponential to describe $100 at 2% interest compounded annually for x years
zysi [14]

Answer:

A=100(1.02)^{x}                  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=x\ years\\ P=\$100\\ r=2\%=2/100=0.02\\n=1  

substitute in the formula above

A=100(1+\frac{0.02}{1})^{1*x}  

A=100(1.02)^{x}
