Answer: B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

the average rate of change is the same as slope (m). Calculate the slope between the beginning and ending coordinates for each stage.

A = (0, 1) → (4, 2.5)

           B = (4, 2.5) → (6, 4)

                           C = (6, 4) → (8, 6)

                                        D = (8, 6) → (10, 9)

                                                      E = (10, 9) → (12, 14)

\frac{y _{2} - y_{1}} {x _{2} - x_{1}}

<u>Stage A</u>

  \frac{2.5 - 1}{4 - 0}

= \frac{1.5}{4}

= 0.375

<u>Stage B</u>

  \frac{4 - 2.5}{6 - 4}

= \frac{1.5}{2}

= 0.75

<u>Stage C</u>

  \frac{6 - 4}{8 - 6}

= \frac{2}{2}

= 1.00

<u>Stage D</u>

  \frac{9 - 6}{10 - 8}

= \frac{3}{2}

= 1.5

<u>Stage E</u>

  \frac{14 - 9}{12 - 10}

= \frac{5}{2}

= 2.5

(A) Stage B = Stage C            False

(B) Stage A is the slowest      TRUE

(C) Stage D > Stage E             False

(D) Stage D is the fastest        False

Nicole deposited $2,000 at 6% simple interest. How long will it be before she has $2,600 in her account?
Kryger [21]
FV=PV(1+r)ⁿ

FV=Future Value, or the $2,600 that you want.
PV=Present Value, or the value that you are depositing.
APR: .06

2,600=2,000(1.06)ⁿ
2,600=2120ⁿ
It would take about a year for Nicole to get $2600.

~Hope I helped~
