You deposit some money into a bank account paying 2% simple interest per 6 months. You received $15 in interest after 9 months. How much the deposit (principal) was?
Result:
The principal was $500.
Explanation:
STEP 1: Convert interest rate of 2% per 6 months into rate per year.
STEP 2: Convert 9 months into years.

STEP 3: Find principal by using the formula , where I is interest, P is total principal, i is rate of interest per year, and t is total time in years.
In this example I = $15, i = 4% and t = 0.75 years, so

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

f(-2) = -3f(1) = 6 . . . estimated from f(x) = (x+2)^2-3, which matches points on the graph (-1,-2) and (0, 1)

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

g(-2) = 1g(1) = 31

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

If you make it a little more clear i can answer it
