Question

Tommy has some money at home from his graduation modeled by the function h(x) = 350. He read about a bank that has savings accounts that accrue interest according to the function s(x) = (1.04)x − 1. Tommy is thinking about putting his money into the savings account to gain interest. Using complete sentences, explain to Tommy how he can combine his functions to create a new function, and explain what this new function means.

Answer 1

@Ilovecake

Answer 2

What they are asking you is basically to apply "Combination of functions" . Multiply the two functions to get 350(1.04)x−1. This new function means an explicit equation for geometric sequences

Answer 4

You should try doing this yourself, think about it, to combine those functions, he will have to actually give 350 to the bank, which would then be given interest over according to the function s(x), so how would you put h(x) into s(x) to get the answer? Try it :)

Answer 5

okay i'll try

Answer 6

their just asking to provide a new function right?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

which was 350(1.04)x−1

Answer 9

bye. And yes that is correct

Answer 10

okay enjoy you walk

Answer 11

okay. bye. :)
