Explain why it can be useful for you and your doctors to know your family’s medical history, including information about parents and grandparents

It can be useful for both the patient and doctor to be aware of the families medical history because testings for and illnesses or medical injuries can be brought down to ensure the bloodline doesn’t receive those same issues as well. For example, if the patients grandparents and parents have a history of cancer it is best to screen for cancer in the patient to make sure it hasn’t passed down through generations. This is the same for allergies and age.

Answer:

9.9 years

step-by-step explanation:

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
