Gabriel invested $17,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 3% compounded annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how long would it take, to the nearest tenth of a year, for the value of the account to reach $26,600?

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
