Given:
The equation of the curve is:

To find:
The gradient (slope) of the given curve at point (2,7).
Solution:
We have,

Differentiate the given equation with respect to x.


Now we need to find the value of this derivative at (2,7).




Therefore, the gradient (slope) of the given curve at point (2,7) is 19.
We start with
$1,187.92
With the interest and the late fee charge
$1,187.92 (1 + 0.1225/12) + 30 = $1,230.05
With the interest minus the payment of $125
$1,230.05 (1 + 0.1225/12) - $125 = $1,117.60
The new principal after the latest payment is $1,117.60.
