<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When writing rational expressions, you need to be aware that ...

  1/4x = (1/4)x ≠ 1/(4x)

Parentheses around the denominator are required, unless you're typesetting the expression and can use a fraction bar for grouping.

The derivative of the curve expression is ...

  y' = x - 1/(4x) . . . . . parentheses added to what you wrote

and the expression (1 -(y')^2) can be written ...

  1 -(y')^2 = x^2 +1/2 +1/(16x^2) . . . . . parentheses added to what you wrote

The first and last terms of this trinomial are both perfect squares, so you might suspect the whole trinomial is a perfect square. You recall that ...

  (a +b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

This is a good "pattern" to remember. Using it is a matter of <em>pattern recognition</em>, as is the case with a lot of math.

Here, you have ...

  a = x

  b = 1/(4x)

In order for your trinomial to be a perfect square, the product 2ab must equal the middle term of your trinomial. (Spoiler: it does.)

  2ab = 2(x)(1/(4x)) = (2x)/(4x) = 1/2 . . . . . matches the middle term of 1 -(y')^2

Hence your trinomial can be written as the square ...

  1 -(y')^2 = (x +1/(4x))^2

_____

This is convenient because you want to integrate the square root of this. Your integral then becomes ...

\displaystyle\int\limits_{2}^{4}{\left(x+\frac{1}{4x}\right)\,dx

If $396 is invested at an interest rate of 13% per year and is compounded continuously, how much will the investment be worth in
Vilka [71]

Answer:  First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount invested = $396

Interest rate = 13% per year

Time = 3 years

We will use the "Exponential growth formula" i.e.

A=Pe^{rt}

Here,

P denotes Principle amount

r denoted rate of growth

t  denotes number of years,

So, it becomes

A=396e^{0.13\times 3}\\\\A=396e^{0.69}\\\\A=\$584.88

Hence, First option is correct.
