Question 8 of 53 How much would $700 be worth after 8 years, if it were invested at 5%
interest compounded continuously? (Use the formula below and round your
answer to the nearest cent.)
A(t) = P•e^rt
A. $5887.12
B. $1044.28
C. $6432.11
D. $38,218.71

9514 1404 393

  B. $1044.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting the given numbers into the given formula, we have ...

  A(8) = $700•e^(0.05•8) ≈ $1044.28

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
