Answer 6

If the money sits at home, it just stays $200

Answer 7

But if you put it in an account that accrues interest, the amount of money you have will go up using the interest function.

Answer 8

It also depends on how much money you are drawing interest on, which is where the $200 comes into play (called the principle).

Answer 20

Hm, the question asks to explain what the new function means. I think you are accurately explaining what is happening, but not answering the question.

Answer 21

Do you understand the difference?

Answer 22

1.05^x-1

Answer 23

the difference would be (1.05)^ x-1

Answer 24

@JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 25

um is the difference is (1.05)^x-1 @JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 26

Well, that is a difference, but I was meaning to ask if you understand the difference between explaining what is happening in the problem and answering the question they asked.

Answer 27

um they are asking to to explain what the new function that they give you means @JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 28

Answer 29

Answer 30

Yes, it is the interest based on the amount of money put into the bank (principle)
