The answer is A. it has two complex solutions
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
As x→-∞, y→-3.
As x→∞, y→∞.
Explanation:
As our values of x get further into the negative numbers, the value of 2ˣ will approach 0. This is because raising a number to a negative exponent "flips" the number below the denominator and raises it to a power; we end up with smaller and smaller fractions, eventually so small that they nearly equal 0.
This will make the value of the function 0-3=-3.
As x gets larger and larger (towards ∞), the value of y, 2ˣ, continues to grow as well. Since it continues to grow exponentially, we say the value approaches ∞.
N = number of compounding periods
Years = log (total / principal) / n * log (1 + rate / n)
Years = log (750 / 500) / 4 * log (1 + .025/n)
