Answer:
y = -2x^2 +7x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can tell you the quadratic regression formula that will fit these points:
y = -2x^2 +7x +4
__
If you'd like to do this "by hand", you can substitute the given points into the equation y = ax^2 +bx +c to get three linear equations in a, b, c.
4 = 0 +0 +c
10 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c
0 = a(4^2) +b(4) +c
Using the value of c from the first equation, these reduce to ...
6 = 4a +2b
-4 = 16a +4b
Dividing the second of these equations by 2, and subtracting the first, we have ...
(16a +4b)/2 -(4a +2b) = (-4)/2 -(6)
4a = -8
a = -2
From the first of the reduced equations, we find ...
b = (6 -4a)/2 = 3 -2a = 3 -2(-2) = 7
So, a=-2, b=7, c=4, and the equation is ...
y = -2x^2 +7x +4
So, we have that the final value of the zero coupon bond after ten years will be 3000$. The TIPS mature after 10 years, but the interest will be calculated only for 5 years. Each year of interest, the TIPS gains 2%*2500=2*25=50$. Hence the TIPS gains 50$ for each year of interest. Since the interest is not compounding, it will gain 5*50=250$ in value. Hence its total value after ten years is 2500+250=2750$. The total maximum value of the two assets combined is 3000+2750=5750$ and it is attained after 10 years. If one things that money is more important now than in 10 years, the assets could be sold at a lower price; nonetheless their max value never exceeds choice d)=5.750$
