Belinda wants to invest $1000. The table below shows the value of her investment under two different options for three different years: Number of years
1
2
3
Option 1 (amount in dollars)
1300
1690
2197
Option 2 (amount in dollars)
1300
1600
1900

Part A: What type of function, linear or exponential, can be used to describe the value of the investment after a fixed number of years using option 1 and option 2? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Part B: Write one function for each option to describe the value of the investment f(n), in dollars, after n years. (4 points)

Part C: Belinda wants to invest in an option that would help to increase her investment value by the greatest amount in 20 years. Will there be any significant difference in the value of Belinda's investment after 20 years if she uses option 2 over option 1? Explain your answer, and show the investment value after 20 years for each option. (4 points)

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
