Mary opened a savings account that compounds interest yearly. She deposited money only when she opened her account. The amount, A (t), in Mary's account t years after it was opened is given by the equation A (t) = 530 (1.002)^t. What is the growth
factor of this function?

Actually Welcome to the concept of growth rate.

Answer is D. 1.002

Since, it has power t for the growth rate to increase.

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
