The product of 4xy and y² + 2x can also be written as
4xy(y² + 2x)
When we have brackets like this, we multiply whatever is left of the brackets by everything inside.
1) 4xy multiplied by y²
4xy x y² = 4xy³
2) 4xy multiplied by 2x
4xy x 2x = 8x²y
3) Add together 4xy³ and 8x²y
4xy³ + 8x²y
Half one is 1/2;
half three is 3/2;
Thus, if f(x) represents annual growth, f(x)/2 shows it every half-year, like this:

Written in plain text: f(x)=15/2*2^x
1 - 113 degrees
2 - 67 degrees
3 - 67 degrees
4 - 113 degrees
Hope this helped :)
Okay so the table represents B, in one hour of work, the person will make 18.25 (you get this by dividing 36.50 by two because that is how much they made in two hours, we need to know how much they make in one)
Therefore, the equation for A, which has to be less than B, would be either be Y=18x or Y=18.1x
