Answer:

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 is approximately -0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information from the graph are;

Points (0, 0) and (1, -0.5)

We have that the graph is that of a cubic function, therefore;

f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

At f'(x) at  (0, 0) and (1, -0.5) = 0 gives;

3ax² + 2bx + c = 0

∴ c = 0

Also

ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0

d = 0

We have

3a(1)² + 2b(1) + 0 = 0

3·a + 2·b = 0..............(1)

a(1)³ + b(1)² + c(1) + d = -0.5

a + b + 0×(1) + 0 = -0.5

a + b = -0.5..........(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and subtracting it from equation (1) gives;

2 × (a + b = -0.5) = 2·a + 2·b = -1

3·a + 2·b - (2·a + 2·b) = 0 - (-1) = 0 + 1 = 1

a = 1

From

a + b = -0.5, we have;

1 + b = -0.5 = 0

b = -0.5 - 1 = -1.5

The equation becomes

f(x) = x³ - 1.5·x²

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 is therefore given as follows;

f'(x) = 3 × x² - 2 × (1.5)·x = 3·x² - 3·x

At x = 0.6, we have;

f'(0.6) = 3·(0.6)² - 3·(0.6)

f'(0.6) = 3×0.6² - 3×0.6 = -0.72

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 ≈ -0.72

Allisa [31]

Given:

One time payment, <em>p </em>= $300

Payment per month, <em>q = </em>$65

Number of months paid, <em>n</em> = 5

The objectiv is to find the amount she paid in 5 months.

Let <em>x </em>be the amount she paid in 5 months. Then the the formula is,

x=p+nq

Let's substitute the values.

\begin{gathered} x=300+5(65) \\ x=300+325 \\ x=625 \end{gathered}

Hence, total amount paid in 5 months is $625.
