189 because 20.7 rounds to 21 and 9.18 rounds to 9
21 * 9 = 189
Assuming yo meant
f(x)=(1/3)4x²
sub 4 for x
f(4)=(1/3)4(4)²
f(4)=(1/3)4(16)
f(4)=(1/3)64
f(4)=64/3
The annual return percentages will be evaluated using the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=amount
P=principle
r=rate
n=time
a] A=$500, P=$400, n=1 years
500=400(1+r)^1
solving for r we shall obtain:
1.25=1+r
hence
r=1.25-1
r==0.25
annual rate of investment is 25%
b] A=2500+100=$2600, P=$ 2000, n=1 year
hence
2600=2000(1+r)^1
2600/2000=1+r
1.3=1+r
r=1.3-1
r=0.3
annual rate of investment is 30%
