Selection D is the equivalent form of the given expression.
_____
The nominal annual interest rate in this problem is 40%. If it were compounded half-yearly, the formula would be x(1.2)^(2t) or x(1.44)^t. Apparently, this problem is more concerned with the equivalent form of the expression than it is with half-yearly compounding.
So you divide 50 by 2 so there are 25 before him
Answer: y = x^2 - 2 does not represent a linear function because the squared exponent above the variable makes that equation quadratic. Quadratic equations look like parabolas on a graph, rather than lines.
