Hello! I can help you with this!
a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.
b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.
Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.
Answer:
0.00007935
Step-by-step explanation:
7.935 x 10 to negative 5 power can be written as:
7.935 x 10^(-5)
A trick to finding 10 to the x power, x is the number of 0's. So 10^5 = 100000
When dividing by tens, move the decimal to the left by the amount of 0's
So our answer is 0.00007935
The <u>correct scale</u> is 1 in = 4 mi.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The scale tells us what a given measurement on the map equals in real-life distance.
The measurement on the map that we have is 2 inches, and it equals 8 miles:
2 in = 8 mi
This can also be written as 2/8. This fraction can be simplified, since both 2 and 8 are divisible by 2; it will simplify to 1/4. This is the same as
1 in = 4 mi.
