No. of days Amount earned

30 500,000

To find a function to the story

Let

No. of days = d

Amount earned = A

When,

d=1, A=1

d=2, A=4

d=3, A=9

d=4, A=16

It can be seen that amount earned is a square of the number of days

Therefore,

The function for the story is:

A=d^2

When d=30

A=30^2

=30*30

=900

Adding the total earnings for 30 days=$500,000

That is

1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64+81+100+121+144+169+196+225+256+289+324+361+400+441+484+529+576+625+676+729+784+841+900=500000

answer: x=3 and y=4
