Answer:

  C)  Peta, because she invests the most

Step-by-step explanation:

The additional $70 that Peta invests is equivalent to more than 2 years' interest at either of the other rates. Not only does Peta invest more money, she does so at a higher interest rate.

Peta will have the most money in her account when she closes it.

__

The balances will be ...

  Joan $490.02

  Peta $548.21

  Linda $420.00

Determine the quadratic function f whose graph is given. The vertex is (1,-3) and y-intercept is -2
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Vertex form: f(x)=(x-1)^2-3

Standard form: f(x)=x^2-2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function in vertex form is f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

We are given h=1,k=-3.

Let's plug that in:

f(x)=a(x-1)^2-3.

Now let's find a.

We will use the y-intercept (0,-2) to find a.

f(0)=a(0-1)^2-3

-2=a(0-1)^2-3

-2=a(-1)^2-3

-2=a(1)-3

-2=a-3

1=a

So the function in vertex form is:

f(x)=(x-1)^2-3.

In standard form, we will have to multiply and combine any like terms.

Let's do that:

f(x)=(x-1)(x-1)-3

f(x)=x^2-x-x+1-3

f(x)=x^2-2x-2

Select the correct answer. consider this absolute value function. if function f is written as a piecewise function, which piece
Elanso [62]

x + 3, x > -3 is the piece which will be included in the given function          f(x) = [ x + 3 ]. This can be obtained by removing modulus and finding the value for x.

<h3>Which piece will the function include?</h3>

Given that,  

f(x) = [ x + 3 ] which is an absolute value function.

Therefore,

| x+3 | > 0

By removing the modulus,

x+3 > 0

x > - 3

Hence x + 3, x > -3 is the piece which will be included in the given function          f(x) = [ x + 3 ].
