Answer:
Option C (f(x) = 
)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, the first step is to write the general form of the quadratic equation, which is f(x) = 
, where a, b, and c are the arbitrary constants. There are certain characteristics of the values of a, b, and c which determine the nature of the function. If a is a positive coefficient (i.e. if a>0), then the quadratic function is a minimizing function. On the other hand, a is negative (i.e. if a<0), then the quadratic function is a maximizing function. Since the latter condition is required, therefore, the first option (f(x) = 
) and the last option (f(x) = 
) are incorrect. The features of the values of b are irrelevant in this question, so that will not be discussed here. The value of c is actually the y-intercept of the quadratic equation. Since the y-intercept is 4, the correct choice for this question will be Option C (f(x) = ). In short, Option C fulfills both the criteria of the function which has a maximum and a y-intercept of 4!!!
Answer:
domain: (-∞, 5)∪(5, ∞)
domain in interval form: {x|x ≠ 5}
ince the problem is only asking for 4 years, we can just calculated it out year by year. Recall the formula for compounding interest: A = P(1+r)n, where A is the total amount, P is the principle (amount you start with), r is the interest rate per period of time, and n is the number of periods (in this case, r is annual interest rate, so n is number of years). At the beginning (Year 0), Lou starts off with 10000: A = 10000 At the end of Year 1, Lou earned interest on that amount, plus he has deposited another 5000: A = 10000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 2, Lou's interest from the year 0 amount has compounded, he has started earning interest on the amount deposited last year, and he deposits another 5000: A = 10000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 3, same idea. Lou has earned compounding interest on all existing deposits, and deposits another 5000: A = 10000(1.08)3 + 5000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 End of Year 4, same idea: A = 10000(1.08)4 + 5000(1.08)3 + 5000(1.08)2 + 5000(1.08) + 5000 = 36135.45
