Basic MathSelect the correct function.
In a finance company, there are two competing groups that are both vying for title of top earners. The first group's profits, in
dollars, can be demonstrated by the following function, where x is the total number of hours the group works on a project.
f(x) = -7.5x2 + 3,000 - 10,000
The second group's profits can be demonstrated by the following function, where x is the total number of hours the group
works on a project.
g(x) = -8.5x2 + 3,060* - 15,000
If both groups spend the same number of hours on a project, select the function which accurately represents the combined
profits from both groups.

Basic MathFaith is saving money and plans on making monthly contributions into an account earning a monthly interest rate of 0.75%. If Faith would like to end up with $87, 000 after 7 years, how much does she need to contribute to the account every month, to the nearest dollar? Use the following formula to determine your answer.
A = d ((1 + i)” - 1)/i)
A = the future value of the account after n periods
d = the amount invested at the end of each period
i = the interest rate per period
n = the number of periods

Basic MathWe are given that in a survey of 400 Latin music downloads, 200 were regional, 110 were pop-rock, 80 were
tropical, and 10 were urban. First, calculate the relative frequency that a music download was pop-rock.
Recall that the formula for the relative frequency of an event E is obtained by dividing the frequency of event
fr(E)
E by the number of trials. That is, P(E) =
N
The number N represents the number of trials, so N =
