Part A
For her final duty at her co-op placement, Andrea is given two investments to analyse.
• Investment 1 asks investors to invest $5000, and the investment grows according to the
equation A(t) 5 10t2 48t 5000.
• Investment 2 asks investors to invest $10 000, and the investment grows according to the
equation A(t) 5 10 000 497t.
In both equations, t is time, in weeks, and A is the amount, in dollars.
a) After how long will both investments be worth the same amount?
b) Under what circumstances should Andrea recommend investment 1?
