For discontinuity of the function:
x² - 7 x - 8 ≠ 0
x² - 8 x + x - 8 = 0
x ( x - 8 ) + ( x - 8 ) ≠ 0
( x - 8 ) ( x + 1 ) ≠ 0
The points of discontinuity are: x = - 1 and x = 8.
As for the Domain of the function:
x ∈ ( - ∞, - 1 ) ∪ ( - 1 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8, +∞ ).
Do cross multiply or butterfly.
For example first one.
18/x=6/10 So cross multiply 18×10 =6x
180=6x
Divide both sides by 6 to get x alone
180÷6=30
So x =30 Do the same to rest
After 1st year: 250$:100%=x$:116%, 250$*116%=x$*100%, x=(250*116)/100=290$. After 1st year I will have 290$
After 2nd year: 290$:100%=x$:116%, x=(290*116)/100=336.4$. After 2nd year I will have 336.4$
After 3rd year I will have (336.4*116)/100=390.224$
After 4th yr: (390.224*116)/100=452.65984$
After 5th yr: (452.65984*116)/100=525.085$
After- 6th yr: 609.1$, 7th yr: 706.556$, 8th yr: 819.605$, 9th yr: 950.742$
10th yr: 1102.86$, 11th yr: 1279.32$, 12th yr: 1484.01$, 13th yr: 1721.45$,
14th yr: 1996.88$, 15th: 2316.38$, 16th yr: 2687$, 17th yr: 3116.92$
After 18 years I will have 3615.63$.
