R=I/Pt is the formula for simple interest rate, so plug in the number given to solve for r :)

Work:
r=17/(500*2)
r=17/1000
r=0.017

To change to a percentage, move the decimal point in 2 times.

Final Answer: 0.017 OR 1.7%

500 * i * 2 = 17
1000i = 17
i = 17/1000
i = 0.017

0.017 = 1.7%

answer: annual simple interest rate is 1.7%

Answer:

$\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function in the question:

$f(x) = \ln (3x^2)$

We have to derivate the given function.

Formula:

$\dfrac{d(\ln x)}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d(x^n)}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$

The derivation takes place in the following manner

$f(x) = \ln (3x^2)\\\\\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \displaystyle\frac{d(\ln(3x^2))}{dx}\\\\=\frac{1}{3x^2}\times \frac{d(3x^2)}{dx}\\\\= \frac{1}{3x^2}\times (6x)\\\\=\frac{6x}{3x^2}\\\\=\frac{2}{x}$
