In question 9, we want an equation for each situation, that is, how much is the monthly amount of each prize.

Let'use the variables in the table,, x for month, y₁ for monthly amount of A and y₂ monthly amount for B.

Assuming x = 0 is the first month, in A we will have 5000 plus 100 increase for each month thereafter.

Inthe first month, x = 0, there is no increase, and x = 1 has one increase, and so on.

So, the amount it had increases so far is x times 100. Plus the starting 5000, we will have the equation:


y_1=5000+100x

For prize B, we start with 2000 and have a 10% increase. 10% increase is the same as multiplying by 100% + 10% each month, that is, multiply by 1.10.

This multiplication accumulates over the months, so we have to exponentiate it by the number of months. The equation becomes:


y_2=2000\cdot(1.10)^x^{}

We can see that in the first month, x = 0, so we will have the initial 2000 correctly.

Now, we can complete the table by substituting x into the equations:

x = 0:


\begin{gathered} y_1=5000+100\cdot0=5000 \\ y_2=2000\cdot(1.10)^0=2000 \end{gathered}

x = 1:


\begin{gathered} y_1=5000+100\cdot1=5100 \\ y_2=2000\cdot(1.10)^1=2200 \end{gathered}

x = 2:


\begin{gathered} y_1=5000+100\cdot2=5200 \\ y_2=2000\cdot(1.10)^2=2420 \end{gathered}

And so one until x = 12.

We will get the table:
