Is there supposed to be parentheses?
Given:
Annual interest rate = r%
Growth factor : x = 1 + r
The below function gives the amount in the account after 4 years when the growth factor is x .

To find:
The total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year and initial amount.
Solution:
Rate of interest = 3% = 0.03
Growth factor : x = 1 + 0.03 = 1.03
We have,

Substitute x=1.03 in the given function, to find the total amount in the account if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.





Therefore, the total amount in the account is 2431.31 if the interest rate for the account is 3% each year.
For initial amount the rate of interest is 0.
Growth factor : x = 1 + 0 = 1
Substitute x=0 in the given function to find the initial amount.



Therefore, 2250 was put into the account at the beginning.
Somesomeone answer this please !!!
No Nothing Further Can Be Done
You could do -1/-2 times -5/-4 which would be 5/8
