The initial investment was $7945.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r)^t

A is the ending amount, in this case 11,680.

P is the starting amount, which is unknown.

r is the interest rate in decimal form, in that case 8% is 0.08.

t is the time in years, in this case 5.

Substitute known values into the equation

A = P(1 + r)^t

11,680 = P(1.08)^5

11,680 = 1.47P

P = 11,680/1.47

P = 7945.58

The initial investment was $7945.58.

sorry, i can't understand your question. will later if you describe more clearly!

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
