Otis has saved $18,500 so far to buy a house. He can put this amount into an
account that earns 5.1% simple interest,
or another with 5.1% compounded
annually. Which method of earning
interest should he choose, simple or
compound, and how much more interest
will the account earn using that method
after 4 years? (8.1A, 8.1B, 8.10, 8.1G)
Compound interest; $15,106.30
G Simple interest; $15,106.30
H Simple interest; $298.65
Compound interest; $298.65
F

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

the answer is 8.64

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

the answer is d
