FV = P(1 + r/t)^nt, where P denotes the principal amount, r is the interest rate, t is the frequency of compounding per year, and n is the total number of years.
Calculating: FV = 7650(1 + 0.05/4)^(9 x 4) = 7650(1 + 0.0125)^36 = 7650(1.0125)^36 = 7650(1.564) = $11,964.17
T<span>he area of a figure signifies the measure of space within a two-dimensional shape, typically expressed as square units based on the figure's dimensions.
For instance, with a shape having dimensions of k, its area can be given by

.
</span>
<span>Consider that one similar figure possesses an area nine times that of another.
As these figures are similar, their areas correspond to the proportionality of their dimensions.
Let the smaller shape's dimensions be k, while the larger is p times the dimensions of the smaller shape. The smaller shape's area is

and the larger shape's area is

.
Now, knowing the larger figure's area is nine times the area of the smaller figure, we have:

</span>
Thus, the dimensions of the larger figure must be 3 times those of the smaller figure.
(5r - 4)(r² - 6r + 4)
uses the distributive property for multiplication.
This expands to 5r(r² - 6r + 4) - 4(r² - 6r + 4)
which results in 5r³ - 30r² + 20r - 4r² + 24r - 16
as you combine like terms and simplify.
The outcome is 5r³ - 30r² - 4r² + 20r + 24r - 16
leading to a final expression of 5r³ - 34r² + 44r - 16. Choice A.
