Answer:

The balances  of their savings will be the same approximately after 122 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of months

f(x) ----> Sarah's savings balance

g(x) ---> Tiffany's savings balance

we know that

Tiffany's savings balance

The function g(x) is a linear function

The function g(x) in slope intercept form is equal to

[tex]g(x)=50x+4,000[/tex]

Sarah's savings balance

The function f(x) is a exponential growth function

The function f(x) is equal to

[tex]f(x)=3,000(1.01)^x[/tex]

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (122,10,099.83)

see the attached figure

therefore

The balances  of their savings will be the same approximately after 122 months
