Suppose that $63,000 is invested at 5 1/2% interest, compounded quarterly. a) Find the function for the amount to which the investment grows after t years . b) Find the amount of money in the account at t = 0, 4, 8 , and 10 years.

Based on the situation in part a, the width of a rectangular garden is x feet, and its length is 5 feet more than twice its width. the right side of the equation, g(x) = 2x2 − 13x + 6, can be factored to g(x) = (2x − 1)(x − 6). this function could represent an inner region of the garden from the first equation, such as a vegetable garden with a border around it. the length of this inner garden would be 2x − 1 feet, and the width would be x − 6, which would leave a 3-foot border around the garden. part d what is the value of g(8) for the function g(x) in part c? what does this value mean in the context of the situation you described in part c?
