- Repeat the previous exercise to find the formula forthe APY of an account that compounds daily. Usethe results from this and the previous exercise todevelop a function I(n)for the APY of any accountthat compounds n times per year.arrow_forwardWhat is the composition of two functions, fg ?arrow_forwardThe formula for the amount A in an investmentaccount with a nominal interest rate r at any timet is given by A(t)=a(e)rt, where a is the amount ofprincipal initially deposited into an account thatcompounds continuously. Prove that the percentageof interest earned to principal at any time t can becalculated with the formula I(t)=ert1.arrow_forward
- Near the surface of the moon, the distance that an object falls is a function of time. It is given by d(t)=2.6667t2 , where t is in seconds and d(t) is in feet. If an object is dropped from a certain height, find the average velocity of die object from t=1tot=2 .arrow_forwardA forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).arrow_forwardWhen a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream After t minutes is given by C(t)=0.06t0.0002t2 where 0t240 and concentration is measured in mg/L .When is the maximum serum concentration reached, and what is that maximum concentration?arrow_forward
- Retirement Savings Ella is saving for her retirement by making regular deposits into a 401(k) plan. As her salary rises, she finds that she can deposit increasing amounts each year. Between 1995 and 2008 the annual amount (in dollars) that she deposited was given by the function. D(t)=3500+15t2 , where t represents the year of the deposit measured from the start of the plan (so 1995 corresponds to t=0 , 1996 corresponds to t=1 , and so on). (a) Find D(0) and D(15) . What do these values represent? (b) Assuming that her deposits continue to be modeled by the function D, in what year will she deposit $17,000? (c) Find the average rate of change of D between t=0 and t=15 . What does this number represent?arrow_forwardbThe average rate of change of the linear function f(x)=3x+5 between any two points is ________.arrow_forward
