Bella invested $7,400 in an account paying an interest rate of 5 3/8 % compounded continuously. Lily invested $7,400 in an account paying an interest rate of 5 3/4% compounded quarterly. After 17 years, how much more money would Lily have in her account than Bella, to the nearest dollar?​

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)

plug in the numbers into the variables

your answer is a
