Problems 1a - 1b: Graph the following functions.

 
1a. problem 1a
 
checkAnswer:

x problem 1a (x, y) -2 ad1a1
(-2, .03) -1 ad1a2
(-1, .17) 0 ad1a3
(0, 1) 1 ad1a3
(1, 6) 2 ad1a5
(2, 36)

ad1a6

 
 
1b.   problem 1b
 
checkAnswer:

x problem 1b (x, y) -2 ad1b1
(-2, -36) -1 ad1b2
(-1, -6) 0 ad1b3
(0, -1) 1 ad1b4
(1, -.17) 2 ad1b5
(2, -.03)

ad1b6

 
 
Problem 2a:   Find the 1) compound amount AND 2) the compound interest for the given investment and rate.

 
2a. $25000 for 21 years at an annual rate of 3.25% compounded quarterly.
 
checkAnswer:

P = 25000
r = 3.25% = .0325
t = 21
n = quarterly = 4 times a year

ad2a

Compound Amount: $49334.23
Compound Interest: $24334.23



 
 
Problem 3a: Find the accumulated value for the given investment and  rate.

 
3a. $4525 that is compounded continuously for 12 years at an interest rate of 9 ½ %.
 
 
checkAnswer:

P = 4525
r = 9.5% = .095 
t = 12

ad3a

So the accumulated or compound AMOUNT would be $14148.63.

ad7b1
y (x, y) ad7b2
-2 (2.001, -2) ad7b3
-1 (2.012, -1) ad7b4
0 (2.11, 0) ad7b5
1 (3, 1) ad7b6
2 (11, 2)


ad7b7

ad11a


 

11b. problem 11b
 
 
checkAnswer:

ad11b



 
11c. problem 11c
 
 
checkAnswer:

ad11c

Since e raised to a power cannot equal a negative number, there is only one solution, x is approx 1.61.
