Answer:

First of all, this question is not complete. So, we will be hypothetically create two accounts and try to choose the one with the greater profit.

Choice 1 = X = Final Amount after 12 years = $5600

Choice 2 = Y = Final Amount after 12 years = $6285.50

Hence, Lorena should choose choice 2, as it gives more profit over than choice 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, this question is not complete. So, we will be hypothetically create two accounts and try to choose the one with the greater profit.

Initial Deposit Amount = $3500

Time period = 12 years

Let's Suppose Lorena has two X and Y choices of accounts at H-town Bank.

X = simple interest of 5% over the initial amount for 12 years.

Y = Compound interest 5% over the initial amount for 12 years.

Solution:

Let's calculate the profit for choice 1 = X

Simple interest = 5%

Initial amount = $3500

Time period = 12 years

Formula = A = P (1 + rt)

where, A = Final amount after 12 years

t = time period in years  = 12

P = initial amount to be deposited = $3500

r = annual interest rate = 5%

Plug in the values to get the total amount.

A = 3500(1+0.05x12)

A = $5600 = final amount Lorena will get after 12 years.

Let's calculate the profit for choice 2 = Y

Compound interest = 5%

Initial amount = $3500

Time period = 12 years

Formula = A = P (\frac{r}{n} + 1)^{nt}

where,

A = Final amount after 12 years

t = time period in years  = 12

P = initial amount to be deposited = $3500

r = annual interest rate = 5%

n = number of times interest rate is applied or compounded. = 12

Plug in the values to get the total amount.

A = P (\frac{r}{n} + 1)^{nt}

A = $6285.50

Hence, Lorena should choose choice 2, as it gives more profit over than choice 1.

determine the quadratic function of f whose graph is given. The vertex is (1,-3) and the y-intercept is -2
LuckyWell [14K]
Hmmm the y-intercept is at -2?  what does that mean?  well, is where the graph "intercepts" or touches the y-axis, and when that happens, x = 0, so the point is really ( 0 , -2 ).

and we know where the vertex is at.  Let's assume a vertical parabola, in which case the squared variable is the "x".

\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad  vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
vertex
\begin{cases}
h=1\\
k=-3
\end{cases}\implies y=a(x-1)^2-3
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we also know that }
\begin{cases}
x=0\\
y=-2
\end{cases}\implies -2=a(0-1)^2-3
\\\\\\
1=a(-1)^2\implies \boxed{1=a}\qquad thus\implies 
\begin{cases}
y=1(x-1)^2-3\\
\textit{or just}\\
y=(x-1)^2-3
\end{cases}
