The amount needed in the account when Frost retires is given by the annuity formula. Compounding is 2 times per year.
.. A = Pi/(n(1 -(1 +r/n)^(-nt)))
.. 17900 = P*.08/(2*(1 -(1 +.08/2)^(-2*12)))
.. 17900 = P*.04/(1 -(1.04^-24))
.. P ≈ 272,920.64
The compound interest formula can be used to find the present value required. 4015 days is 11 years (ignoring leap years), so the amount to deposit can be calculated from
.. A = P*(1 +r/n)^(nt)
.. 272,920.64 = P*(1 +.08/2)^(2*11) = P*1.04^22
.. P ≈ 115,160.33
We don't know about the company's obligation to Robert. To fulfill its obligation to Frost, it must deposit 115,160.33 today.
Okay, let's see...
The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b
y is another way to say f(x)
<em>m = slope </em>
<em>b = y intercept </em>
Let's start with the y intercept first.
Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.
In this case, if you look at the graph, the line <em>touches </em>the y axis at -1.
-1 will replaces b
To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.
Lets use <em>(0,-1)</em> and <em>(-6,4) </em>
To find the slope, we're going to use 
4 - (-1) / -6 - 0
Solve, our slope is 5/-6
That is our m
Our final equation is

distance between two points is [(x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2]^1/2
I.e,[{5-1)^2+(0-3)^2]^1/2
[16+9]^1/2
[25]^1/2
5
9 = 3^2
Since 3 squared equals 9, that is how 9 as a power of the base 3 should be written.
