Answer:

(a)

f(a+h)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4

(b)

f(a+h)-f(a)=2ah+h^{2} -3h

(c)

\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2h+11

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Simply evaluate (a+h) in the function:

f(a+h)=(a+h)^{2} -3(a+h)-4=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4

(b)

Evaluate (a) in the function:

f(a)=a^{2} -3a-4

Using the previous answers lets calculate f(a+h)-f(a)

f(a+h)-f(a)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4-(a^{2} -3a-4)=2ah+h^{2} -3h

(c) To find the rate of change of f(a+1) when a=7 we need to calculate its derivate at that point:

\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2a+2h-3=2(7)+2h-3=2h+14-3=2h+11

terry opened a savings account in December with $132 and saved $27 each month beginning in January the value of terrys account i
liq [111]
Let S be the amount in a savings account. 
Let m be the number of months.

General equation
S = 132 + 27m

Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321

Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
