Alright, so the rate of change is the same thing as the slope, so we can find this by using the slope formula (which I took a picture of because it's super messy to type it out like this)

Now that we know the slope formula, we need to find the x values and the y values to plug into the equation. We'll say that the years are our x values and the money spent (in billions) are our y values. Now that we've set up an axis, we can create points! Our points would be (2000, 1243) and (2005, 1838)

Now we can plug our points into our equations! On the top of our equation, we'll put (1838-1243), and on the bottom we'll put (2005-2000). When we simplify that, we end up with 595/5, which simplifies to 119. Now we know that the rate of change for the credit cards was 119 billion!

Which expression correctly represents twice of the sum of four and a number
tino4ka555 [31]

Let "a number" be represented with the variable x.

Solve the expression by breaking it apart:

"...the sum of four and a number": (x + 4)

"twice of...": 2(

"Twice of the sum of four and a number": 2(x + 4)

2(x + 4) is your answer.

PLEASE HELP
miss Akunina [59]

In the smallest of the three triangles (with sides a,b,3) we have

a^2+3^2=b^2

In the second-largest triangle (with sides a,108), the length of the missing side is \sqrt{a^2+108^2}. Then in the largest triangle (with sides b,111,\sqrt{a^2+108^2}), we have

b^2+\left(\sqrt{a^2+108^2}\right)^2=(108+3)^2=111^2

\implies b^2+a^2+108^2=111^2

\implies b^2+a^2=657

Equivalently, we have

(a^2+9)+a^2=657\implies 2a^2=648\implies a^2=324\implies a=18

In turn, we find

b^2=18^2+3^2=298\implies b=\sqrt{333}=3\sqrt{37}
