What does the [math]30t[/math] mean in this situation?[br]

Check your predictions by graphing y=(x+6)(x-6).
A student needs to get a loan of $12,000 for the first year of college
[size=150]Bank A has an annual interest rate of 5.75%, Bank B has an annual interest rate of 7.81%, and Bank C has an annual rate of 4.45%.[/size][br][br]If we graph the amount owed for each loan as a function of years without payment, predict what the three graphs would look like. Describe or sketch your prediction.[br]
Use graphing technology to plot the graph of each loan balance.

Based on your graph, if no payments are made, how much would the student owe for each loan after 10 years?[br]
