Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:
<em>P = initial balance</em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>
<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>
<em>t = time</em>
First, change 6% into a decimal:
6% -> 
-> 0.06
Since the interest is compounded semi-annually, we will use 2 for n. Lets plug in the values now and your equation will be:
Answer:
C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating the line A and the parabola, we get
-3x + 2 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 +3x - 2
0 = x² + 2
-2 = x²
which has no real solutions. Then, the line A and the parabola don't intersect each other.
Equating the line B and the parabola, we get
-3x + 3 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 3
0 = x² + 1
-1 = x²
which has no real solutions. Then, the line B and the parabola don't intersect each other.
Equating the line C and the parabola, we get
-3x + 5 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 5
0 = x² - 1
1 = x²
√1 = x
which has 2 solutions, x = 1 and x = -1. Then, the line C and the parabola intersect each other.
Equating the line D and the parabola, we get
-3x + 6 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 6
0 = x² - 2
2 = x²
√2 = x
which has 2 solutions, x ≈ 1.41 and x ≈ -1.41. Then, the line D and the parabola intersect each other.
F(x)= √3x + 1
a=8
8 √3 + 1 <—Exact form
